A video circulating on social media, appearing to show an RTL report about a funding project launched by Grand Duke Henri, is fake and intended to scam users.

The video, which was evidently generated using artificial intelligence, claims that the Grand Duke has launched a funding project offering a daily revenue of €500. A likeness of the Grand Duke appears in the footage, urging viewers to register for the project via a provided link and stating that availability is limited.

RTL would like to clarify that the report is not authentic, but rather a scam exploiting RTL’s name for illicit purposes. RTL urges users not to click on any links in the post and to refrain from registering for any purported giveaways under the RTL name found on unverified platforms. The only exceptions are giveaways and similar promotions featured on the official RTL website.
