Twitter is in “Royal Wedding” mode and has just revealed the most viral tweets about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming wedding. Except that one of the most popular ones, was a fake.
Ahhh, the royal wedding. There are those who don’t care, and those who are so excited they can’t stop tweeting and retweeting anything about the upcoming royal nuptials. Even Twitter felt obliged to share data on the matter, revealing the most popular tweets on the subject.
While some messages that went viral are not really a surprise – i.e the official announcement, or congratulations from Barrack Obama), one Tweet especially intrigued the Daily Mail. With over 34,000 retweets and 129,000 likes, a photo of Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, Sr., reading a book called Images of Britain, took the Internet by storm. So funny, right? The father brushing up his knowledge of Britain, a few days before his daughter marries one of its princes…
But alas, it was a fake.
So much for keeping us safe from fake news, Twitter! You never learn, do you?
