The report claims that she will be passing the crown to her grandson Prince William, thereby bypassing her son Prince Charles, who is, in fact, the rightful heir to the throne. Supposedly, the Queen was able to convince Prince Charles to accept her decision so that Prince William can become king.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the way it is presented, the story \u00a0is not real news. There have been no genuine announcements about the Queen retiring. And, there are no credible news reports that support the claims in the story in any way. In fact, the <a title=\"BREAKING: Queen Elizabeth II Passes On Crown As She Retires\" href=\"http:\/\/1ndependent.co.uk\/breaking-queen-elizabeth-ii-passes-on-crown-as-she-retires\/\">story is a satirical piece<\/a> from the fake-news website 1ndependent.co.uk. The site publishes nonsensical stories disguised as news. And, just to confuse readers a little more, it throws in some genuine news reports lifted verbatim from real news outlets such as the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>The site&#8217;s fictional  \u00a0reports do not include any clear disclaimer that might alert readers that the material they are reading is not real news. It does reveal the true nature of its content in its &#8220;Terms of Use&#8221; document, but this is a page that few readers are likely to access. The page <a title=\"1dependent - Terms of Use\" href=\"http:\/\/1ndependent.co.uk\/terms-of-use\/\">notes in part<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>This website is satirical in scope and intent.

Note the &#8220;1&#8221; instead of the &#8220;i&#8221; at the beginning of the URL.
