BBC apologises for calling Kate Middleton ‘Kate Middleton’

"Get it right."

Viewers complained after the British national broadcaster failed to use the title Catherine, Princess of Wales, during a live broadcast on Armistice Day.

The BBC’s statement read: "During our coverage of memorials to commemorate Armistice Day, we mistakenly referred to Catherine, Princess of Wales, as Kate Middleton; these were errors during hours of live broadcasting for which we apologise. Throughout our Armistice Day coverage more broadly, we referred to Catherine by her correct title."

The use of the word "errors" in their statement suggests that the BBC repeatedly referred to the Princess of Wales as Kate Middleton throughout the broadcast.

Presenter Rajini Vaidyanathan was anchoring the coverage.

Jim Shannon, member of Parliament for Strangford, Northern Ireland, said: "A reminder to @BBCNews to educate its broadcasters that the Princess of Wales has not been 'Kate Middleton' since 2011. Her correct title is Catherine, Princess of Wales. Get it right."
