Fox News Graphic Generates Laughter with Amusing Error

A graphic aired on Fox News mistakenly labelled Kate Middleton as the “Princess of Whales,” sparking widespread amusement on social media. This gaffe occurred during an episode of America’s Newsroom, where co-anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino looked back at their predictions for the previous year.

While discussing past forecasts, Perino incorrectly anticipated that Middleton would announce a pregnancy. Instead, the graphic intended to highlight her title following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September, but it humorously misidentified her as the Princess of Whales.

The blunder quickly caught the attention of social media users, with one remarking, “I didn’t expect Fox News to refer to Kate Middleton as the Princess of Whales!” Another added, “Oh, Fox News, you are often quite entertaining!”

This isn’t the first time such a mistake has occurred. In 2019, former President Donald Trump tweeted about meeting King Charles III, accidentally referring to him as the “Prince of Whales,” showcasing a similar error.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, both Kate and Prince William received new titles. William became the Prince of Wales, while Kate’s title evolved from Duchess of Cambridge to include Princess of Wales, a title once held by William’s late mother, Diana.
