Is King Charles "dying of Kuru," (a rare disease linked to cannibalism), after decades of "child meat banquets"? No, that's not true: There is no evidence that the king has been diagnosed with Kuru as of the time of publication. He has announced he was diagnosed with cancer. The video does not cite any sources or provide any evidence to support the claim. The website that published the video is among the most prolific online publishers of fake news.
The claim appeared in an April 28, 2026, video posted by the X account @tpvsean (archived here). It opened:
King Charles 'Dying of Kuru' After Decades of Child Meat Banquets
King Charles is running out of time. His swollen sausage fingers are reaching their limit, and according to whistleblowers deep inside the palace, the monarch has been diagnosed with kuru - the ruthless prion disease triggered by consuming infected human brain tissue.
As his highly redacted links to Jeffrey Epstein detonate in the open, the walls are closing in. This is the reckoning the Firm has dreaded for decades.
This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

Sean Adl-Tabatabai, host of The People's Voice and a "proud conspiracy theorist," according to his X bio, posted the video claiming the king was dying from the rare disease. He did not offer any evidence that King Charles was diagnosed with Kuru.
At 2:24 in the video he claims the king "developed an appetite far beyond curiosity. A refined taste for human flesh," while showing an image of a bottle with the word "ADRENOCHROME," a common conspiracy theory about famous people consuming the blood of trafficked children. Lead Stories debunked the claim that adrenochrome was obtained from living children here.

Beginning at 5:30 in the video, he claims King Charles and Jeffrey Epstein have a dark connection, saying, "The truth is Prince Andrew may be the one in the dog house, but the rot goes all the way to the top." He claims "those who have read the unredacted Epstein files," said "Andrew's crimes pale in comparison to his brother. The King of England and the commonwealth himself. Charles the third."
Lead Stories searched the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Epstein files and found 7 pages of results for Prince Charles, none of which were "redacted links to Jeffrey Epstein." Here is a screenshot of some of the files that were found in the search:

The People's Voice
The People's Voice is among the most prolific online publishers of fake news. Articles on the site often link to and extensively quote stories from other sites to give an appearance of legitimacy, but the main claim in the headline and/or the first paragraph of each article is almost never supported by the sources that are offered. The site routinely makes up quotes from people or misrepresents scientific study results.
It originally started as YourNewsWire in 2014 and rebranded as NewsPunch in 2017. In 2023 it rebranded itself again to The People's Voice. The People's Voice/NewsPunch/YourNewsWire has published numerous fake news articles in the past, so anything that appears on the site should be taken with a large grain of salt. Its Facebook page, "The People's Voice," lost its verification checkmark, according to a 2018 report from Media Matters for America.
