BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty was told off by viewers after she made an awkward slip-up when it came to the new monarch.
The presenter was talking about the death of the Queen on a special edition of the show, when she accidentally referred to Charles as the Prince, rather than the King.
The TV star was talking to reporter John Maguire – who was at Buckingham Palace – and according to reports, she said: “We have just heard from so many different generations, young to older generations, and just what the Queen meant to them and what the incoming monarch, well the monarch now, Prince Charles III, what their hopes for him are.”

Viewers were quick to post messages on Twitter reminding Naga that Charles was no longer the Prince but that he has become King Charles III following the sad passing of his mother the Queen.
“Naga Munchetty, it’s KING Charles III, not Prince…” one person pointed out in a message on Twitter.
Another viewer wrote: “Prince Charles III? Get a grip Naga.”
“Prince Charles the 3rd?” tweeted one person after Naga’s slip of the tongue.
“Surely Naga you mean King Charles the 3rd?” they asked.
Someone else who’d tuned in asked the show: “@BBCBreakfast please correct Naga it’s King Charles 3rd not Prince Charles 3rd…”
However, plenty of people have also praised the presenter and the rest of the BBC Breakfast team for their “great” coverage since the Queen died.
