Harry and Meghan's team forced to issue an apology

Over an Instagram post.
  • 17 Oct 2019

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued an apology after a mistake appeared on their official Instagram page.

On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex misquoted American civil rights activist, Maya Angelou.

The original post read: "Each time a women stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women." Royal watchers pointed out that that the first 'women' in the quote should have read 'woman'.

Eagle-eyed royal fans were quick to point out it should have read “woman”.

We post inspiring words like these so you can enjoy them, remember them, and share them - all the more reason to ensure they're accurate. We are reposting because of a typo in the previous quote card. Apologies for the hiccup, and many thanks to those of you who flagged it for us! We do hope you'll keep and share these powerful words from Maya Angelou -The Sussex Digital Team *************************** Maya Angelou was an American poet, singer, civil rights activist and was hailed as a new kind of memoirist - inspiring people around the world as one of the first African-American women who openly discussed their personal life in order to help others. These words, used in The Duchess' speech on the opening day of the Southern Africa Tour in Nyanga, South Africa, surrounded by the inspiring Mbokobo girls, should always be a reminder that no matter how big or small, your voice has a purpose.

The couple's digital team reposted the correct version with an apology.

The correction follows a social media gaffe made by Prince William and Kate Middleton.

On the first full day of their visit to Pakistan, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first engagements in Islamabad championed the importance of quality education, and highlighted how girls benefit from pursuing higher education and professional careers. At Islamabad Model College for Girls, The Duke and Duchess heard how students are benefiting from the 'Teach for Pakistan' programme. @TeachforPakistan is a fast-track training programme modelled on the successful @TeachFirstUK scheme, which is focused on improving the quality of teaching in schools which serve families from disadvantaged backgrounds. Carrying on the theme of education, The Duke and Duchess visited the Margalla Hills, which sit in the foothills of the Himalayas. There, they joined children from four local schools for activities taking part in activities designed to educate young people on environmental protection and wildlife conservation. This included helping the children identify and remove species of plants that are threatening the natural environment, bird watching, and storytelling on local environment issues. 📷 Kensington Palace #RoyalVisitPakistan #Pakistan

The royals took to Instagram to discuss their first official engagement which included a visit to Islamabad Model College for Girls, where they learned how students are benefiting from the ‘Teach for Pakistan’ programme.

However when describing their day, they made a rather obvious typo.
