King Charles‘ team reportedly refreshed the royal family’s website after a digital glitch.
On Jan. 22, the royal family’s Royal.UK website featured what was apparently an accidental heading on the main landing page. According to a fan blog, the word “hospice” was spotted on the top of the site, though the mistake was soon erased.
“Opps… For some bizarre reason the header on the @RoyalFamily website now says ‘hospice’ … Why?” fan blog Gert’s Royal wondered on X, sharing a screenshot of the surprise typo.
Two hours later, the blog reported that the heading had disappeared.
As of Jan. 23, the page was back to normal, with click into Royal.UK showing the royal family’s biographies, log of latest engagements, Court Circular, Royal Diary and more.

The error could have been due to a formatting issue, connected to an outing Queen Camilla recently made. Royal.UK is written and maintained by the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace as the authoritative source of information about the monarchy, and is frequently updated with new entries about official engagements that working royals make. It’s notable that the Queen, 77, visited a hospice on Jan. 21, which was recapped in an entry on the royal family’s website.
Queen Camilla toured Prospect Hospice in Wiltshire on Tuesday, making the stop to help the charity commemorate its 45th anniversary in her post as president.
Though typos related to royal communications are rare, they happen! In October 2024, Buckingham Palace shared the happy news that Princess Beatrice is pregnant and expecting her second child with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. However, there was a hiccup in the initial announcement regarding Princess Beatrice’s royal title.

According to Hello!, the palace deleted its initial post on X on Oct. 1 because of a minor typo. Screenshots obtained by the outlet then showed that King Charles’ niece was initially referenced as “Her Royal Highes,” a misspelling of her Her Royal Highness (HRH) title.
The corrected statement said, “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together early in the new year; a sibling for Wolfie and Sienna.”
“His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news,” it continued.

The royal family will expand when Princess Beatrice’s baby is born this year, and the child will likely inherit a title — from Italy! Though Princess Beatrice and Edo’s new baby is expected to enter the line of succession to the throne (11th), their kids don’t have British royal titles from King Charles because they are not his grandchildren.
However, because Edo descends from Italian aristocracy, his father previously told the Daily Mail that any of his children would be counts or nobile donna. Princess Beatrice, 36, and Edo, 40, are parents to daughter Sienna, 3, and Christopher Woolf, 8, his son from a previous relationship.
