In November 2023, Trisha Paytas and her husband, Moses Hacmon, announced that they were expecting baby No. 2. In an Instagram photo, they were pictured holding up sonogram images, which one user on X, formerly known as Twitter, likened to the cursed video in “The Ring.” The cheeky netizen tweeted, “King Charles you will start to cough in 7 days.” In January 2024, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III was undergoing prostate surgery, and the following month, it was revealed that the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer.
Paytas seemed to react to the news of Charles’ diagnosis by tweeting, “Literally no comment.” Oh, but the internet had plenty to say about Paytas being pregnant while the royal underwent cancer treatment. “This is crazy king charles really about to be reincarnated in trisha paytas second child like what are the chances,” one person tweeted. Another wrote, “King charles has cancer and trisha paytas is pregnant. her baby has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.”
Paytas addressed the second round of reincarnation conspiracy theories in a Facebook video. She suggested that their propagators were people who wanted Charles gone because they were unhappy about his treatment of Princess Diana. “I get that,” she said. But she added that her baby had absolutely no ties to a British king — instead, Paytas decided to name her daughter Elvis after the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
