  • Social media posts claim a video shows a group of Irish dancers performing outside Buckingham Palace after Queen Elizabeth II's death in early September 2022. This is false; the clip was first published on TikTok in January 2022. The queen died and the Irish are already on it lol, says a September 8, 2022 tweet . The post includes a video with more than one million views. It shows a group of five Irish dancers performing to the Queen song Another One Bites the Dust in front of Buckingham Palace in London. Screenshot of a tweet taken September 9, 2022 Similar posts have circulated on Facebook and YouTube . Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch in British history, died September 8 at her Scottish Highland retreat. She was 96 years old. The announcement of the queen's death was followed by the cancellation of major sporting and cultural events and a public address from her successor, King Charles III. Footage of widespread grieving has been shared across the internet . But the video featuring the Irish dancers was posted before the queen's death. The clip was originally published January 18, 2022 on TikTok by a group called Cairde . The dance troupe, which has more than 3.1 million followers on the platform, regularly films in front of historical landmarks . AFP reached out to Cairde for comment, but a response was not available at time of publication. (en)
