When Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel in Windsor yesterday, someone noticed something wasn’t quite right with the subtitles.
The BBC News’s subtitling produced a rather unfortunate, but hilarious, error.
As Princess Eugenie stepped out of the car, revealing her wedding dress, a BBC presenter remarked: “What a beautiful dress.”
However, in an unfortunate ‘boob’, the subtitles on screen read: “What beautiful breasts… Absolutely fitting her perfectly…”
The BBC's subtitles during a #RoyalWedding news report made QUITE the error.
As Eugiene left the car a presenter said "what a beautiful dress."
Unfortunately the subtitles said "What a beautiful breasts."

It didn’t go unnoticed by wedding viewers, many of whom had the subtitling switched on.
Hey @BBCNews you got Borat doing the subtitles?

"Absolutely fitting her" is also a great thing to say

It’s not the first time television subtitling has descended into the realms of hilarity…..
American subtitles attempting a Yorkshire accent will never not be funny ? pic.twitter.com/wTnua6jK3Z
