Kirstie Allsopp was fuming as the BBC made a huge error over the Princess of Wales, Princess Kate. Viewers weren’t happy just minutes into the Armistice Day memorial service this morning as a presenter referred to her as Kate Middleton – a name she hasn’t officially gone by since 2011. Branding the error “disrespectful”, viewers took to social media to air their complaints.
But now Kirstie has added her voice to the chorus, tweeting: “This is one of my bug bears. It is Catherine, the Middleton bit is just bloody rude, but most of all it is Catherine. HRH the Princess of Wales actually and if that kills you it’s Catherine Wales.”
Kirstie did admit: “I love the BBC and I always have and I do have criticism of it. I would hate to be without it.”
She also tweeted: “The BBC gets things wrong, it often drives me crazy and I felt let down by some of its Gaza coverage AND it gets as close to balanced as any news organisation ever will, its staff are serious and dedicated and those who are bashing it are as far from truth seekers as you can get.”
Other viewers weren’t so forgiving, as one posted: “Just BBC News on Armistice Day casually announcing the arrival of ‘Kate Middleton’” with a sad emoji.

“Another reason to defund them. They are purposely disrespectful. They refused to call her a duchess, they refuse to call her a princess, will they refuse to call her Queen when the time comes?” someone else echoed.
While another user said: “Am I missing something? ‘Kate Middleton?’ How disrespectful. This woman keeps on calling her Kate Middleton, FFS!”
