Princess Kate and Prince William made a huge error(Image: Getty)The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been left red-faced after a social media blunder forced them to delete a tribute to the victims of the 7/7 terror attacks. The message, posted on the @KensingtonRoyal account, began with the words “And copy” before paying tribute to those who lost their lives in the attack 20 years ago.
The post read: “Remembering the victims of the 7/7 attacks on this 20 year anniversary by joining survivors and bereaved families at the Memorial Gardens in Hyde Park this afternoon.”
However, shortly after, the post was deleted and reposted without the embarrassing “And copy” prefix.
The post on X was swiftly deleted(Image: @KensingtonRoyal / X)Prince William attended a poignant service at the memorial gardens in Hyde Park to mark the 20th anniversary of the tragedy, which killed 52 people and injured over 770 others. The 43 year old Royal was one of the last of the 500 guests to take his seat, dressed in a sombre dark navy suit and tie.
Gerald Oppenheim, chairman of the London Bombing Relief Charitable Fund, acknowledged the royal’s attendance, saying: “We appreciate all you and members of the Royal Family do for survivors of the 7/7 attacks.”, reports the Express.
He also expressed his gratitude to the King for his impactful statement released earlier on Monday, as well as to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh for their presence at the service at St Paul’s Cathedral where a minute’s silence was observed.
Following the service, William was seen placing a bouquet of vibrant orange flowers on the plaque.
After the hour-long service, the Prince mingled with survivors and the families of the victims at a private reception in a tea tent situated approximately 100 yards from the memorial.
