Royal fans spot glaring error on William and Kate's social media account
Sharp-eyed fans were quick to spot a big blunder in a recent social media post shared by Kensington Palace.
With the Princess of Wales currently out of the spotlight as she recovers from surgery, royal watchers have been eagerly awaiting news from the household.
And a new message was indeed shared in honour of St David's Day on March 1. The national festival has been a day of celebration in Wales since the 12th century, recognising Saint David – and it is an important event in the royal calendar.
Last year, William and Kate marked the special occasion by visiting the Welsh Guard for the St David's Day Parade.
The original X post from Kensington Palace featured a mistake (@KensingtonRoyal/Twitter)In celebration of this year's event, a post was shared on the couple's official account on X, formally Twitter, stating that the Prince and Princess were "proud to be Patrons of both the Welsh Guards and the Queen's Dragoon Guards".

However, that was a mistake - and the post was very quickly changed. Another post quickly followed, stating the correct titles for William and Kate, the Express reports. The new message read: "Proud to be Colonel and Colonel-in-Chief of the Welsh Guards and 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards. Happy St David's Day!"
A Welsh translation followed underneath: "Yn falch o fod yn Gyrnol ac yn Brif Gyrnol y Gwarchodlu Cymreig a Gwarchodlu Dragŵn 1af Y Frenhines. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!"
It was quickly replaced, featuring the couple's real titles (@KensingtonRoyal/Twitter)Fans saw the funny side, with one royal fan joking: "Third time's a charm!" along with a winking emoji.
Prince William spent St David's Day visiting Wrexham, where he was given a bouquet that he said he would "pass on to Catherine" as she continues her recovery.
William began the day with a visit to Wrexham AFC - a football club that has been in the spotlight since Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds bought it back in 2020.
Outside the club, Prince William shared a sweet moment with a three-year-old girl, Florence Boyle, who presented him with a daffodil - the national flower of Wales that is traditionally worn on St. David's Day. Accompanied by her parents, Katie, 35, and David, 37, the little girl also blew William a kiss - and he made her an adorable promise.
In line with tradition, William was wearing a cheerful yellow Daffodil bloom on his jacket for his packed day of engagements in North Wales, but he promised the little girl he would keep the single flower she handed him as "back up" in case anything went awry with the one he was already wearing, asking her "is that okay?" before she blew him a kiss goodbye.
