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”.

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

“We post inspiring words like these so you can enjoy them, remember them, and share them – all the more reason to ensure they’re all 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.”

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

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are currently on a royal tour of 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.

“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.”
