Unfortunate Typo Leads to Online Laughter

A recent graphic aired on Fox News mistakenly labelled Kate Middleton as the “Princess of Whales,” creating a wave of amusement among viewers. This error occurred during an episode of America’s Newsroom, where co-anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino reflected on their predictions for 2022.

During the segment, Perino inaccurately predicted that Middleton would announce a pregnancy. Instead, the graphic intended to highlight her title following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September, but it humorously misidentified her as the “Princess of Whales.”

Social media users quickly reacted to the blunder. One user remarked, “I didn’t expect Fox News to refer to Kate Middleton as the Princess of Whales!” Another chimed in, “Oh, Fox News, you can be so entertaining sometimes!”

This isn’t the first instance of such a typo. In 2019, former President Donald Trump mistakenly referred to King Charles III as the “Prince of Whales” in a tweet, showcasing a similar mix-up.

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