New Delhi: While reporting the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the historic proclamation ceremony of King Charles III, news broadcasting agency BBC suffered an awkward subtitle blunder on Saturday.
During BBC’s live coverage, social media users spotted the blunder as the word ‘vagina’ popped up on the screen instead of ‘regina’.
The error came to the fore when the news organization was covering King Charles leaving Buckingham Palace for his walkabout as the new successor of Queen Elizabeth II.
Sharing a pic of the blunder, a Twitter user wrote, “Oops… BBC should really be more careful with their auto subtitles..”

73-year-old Charles will be now succeeding his mother after the demise of Britain’s longest-serving monarch Queen Elizabeth post her death at Balmoral castle on Thursday.
