Queen Elizabeth requests Ronaldo’s first signed jersey.“The Cristiano effect. Queen Elizabeth orders 80 jerseys for the Royal Court, and has personally requested Manchester United to reserve the first jersey signed by the player”, tweeted Sports Innovation Society.
“With this request, #CR7 becomes the only human being the Queen Elizabeth ask for an autograph”, read the now deleted tweet.
“Queen Elizabeth has personally requested Manchester United to reserve the first jersey signed by Cristiano Ronaldo. With this request, Cristiano Ronaldo is the only human being Queen Elizabeth has asked for an autograph” wrote BenchWarmers on their official Facebook page.
Verdict: FALSE
SIS has since deleted the tweet and issued an apology.
“We could not confirm the veracity of the note from The Queen” tweeted the publisher.
“The current head of state in the UK, Queen Elizabeth II has been speculated to support a number of sides over the years. It’s now thought the Queen may be a West Ham United fan.
“It’s thought the reigning monarch has kept tight-lipped about her team to remain neutral but it’s since been reported that she could have admired the club as far back as the 60s.
“However, it’s also thought the Queen may have a soft spot for Arsenal after meeting with Arsene Wenger at an event at Buckingham Palace in 2007. It’s rumoured she was particularly impressed with Cesc Fabregas after chatting to him.” wrote Goal.Com
