Whoever was in charge of the British Royal Family’s social media accounts on Thursday was left red-faced after a tweet was accidentally posted.
The tweet in question came from the Royal Family’s official account, which informs followers on the activities of Queen Elizabeth II and her family, on Thursday morning.
“Thanks,” was all the tweet said and, after generating over 1,000 likes and 500 retweets in six minutes, it was deleted.
Despite being deleted, the tweet was screenshotted by a number of people, with many more coming to inventive conclusions over who had sent the tweet and why.
This isn’t the first time the Royal Family’s official account has made the news, with it previously liking a tweet criticising the haters of Meghan Markle in October and, in 2019, it called Princess Eugenie ‘Eugene’.
