The Sun once again prove they are crap at journalism by wrongly reporting death of Prince Philip

Normal Bates. Updated May 4th, 2017

The Sun blew it big time today and wrongly reported the death of Prince Philip.

As we write this the story is still available in Google News but not on the site:

Amazing headline too: “etc etc”

Clicking on the story gets this huge “WHOOPS!” which isn’t the apology the Palace will probably be looking for.

The publication of this story was caused by massive Twitter speculation which was largely based on a Daily Mail story.

There’s still meant to be a palace announcement at 10 but BBC have confirmed it has nothing to do with the Queen or Philip’s health.

Maybe they’re finally admitting they’re lizards?

Or making the same gag EVERYONE is making on Twitter?

UPDATE: And the news?

Anyway. If you’re still read this far why not have some of Philip’s worst gags that we started preparing when we saw everyone go mad for Prince Philip death speculation.
