Queen Elizabeth death hoax: Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee says 'I trust my sources'

Hollywood entertainment website founder Jason Lee says he 'trusts' his sources after the Internet responds with memes and trolling to the portal's story headlined 'Queen Elizabeth has died'.

Queen Elizabeth is not dead; there is no official announcement on the same. However, a popular Hollywood entertainment website Hollywood Unlocked says otherwise.

Last night, they shared a post on their social media pages saying, "Sources close to the Royal Kingdom notified us exclusively that Queen Elizabeth has passed away." 

The post and the article went viral with a few minutes of posting. Soon many memes and jokes on social media as internet users rush to confirm the accuracy of the claims. Some started trolling the founder of the website, Jason Lee where the news was published.

Soon, Jason Lee, the founder of Hollywood Unlocked, shared a tweet saying that the information was correct. "We don’t post lies and I always stand by my sources. Waiting for an official statement from the palace," Jason Lee wrote.

Hollywood Unlocked mentioned that a source close to the Royal Kingdom notified them that Queen had passed away. Also, she was planning to attend the wedding of British Vogue editor Edward Enninful but was found dead.

During the weekend, Buckingham Palace declared that the Queen had tested positive for Covid-19. There was supposed to be a celebration for Queen Elizabeth's 70th year on the throne, but it got cancelled due to her health.
