Infanta Cristina death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the princess’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Infanta Cristina’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Spanish princess’s passing:

At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (March 17, 2024), our beloved princess Infanta Cristina passed away. Infanta Cristina (daughter of Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía of Spain) was born on June 13, 1965 in Madrid. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 58-year-old princess was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major Spanish network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a princess of Infanta Cristina's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (85%) of respondents think those Infanta Cristina death rumors are not funny anymore.
