Ah, you’ve heard the rumor. Yes, back in 2012, the internet went absolutely bonkers when a British tabloid falsely reported that Katherine had passed away. It was a hoax, a nasty little piece of clickbait that scared millions of fans.
It spread faster than a viral cat video. People were tweeting their condolences, and then… oops. She was fine. She was probably at home, sipping tea, and wondering why her phone was exploding. Classic internet freak-out.
