Viewers of Sky News were left shocked and surprised by what they heard about King Charles and his children. The news came after the announcement of his cancer diagnosis, and as expected, people all over the world were reacting to the news. Various broadcasters were providing updates and insights on the situation.
On Monday night, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer during a recent surgery for his prostate. However, it was clarified that it was not prostate cancer. This news received an outpouring of support from public figures like Piers Morgan, Sir Keir Starmer, and Gary Lineker. The 75-year-old will be stepping back from his duties as he undergoes treatment.
Sky News US correspondent Martha Kelner reported live from LA shortly after the news broke. She began by stating that King Charles had personally informed all five of his children about his diagnosis, including the Duke of Sussex. She then went on to mention that Prince Harry had cancelled a planned trip with Meghan Markle to Vancouver, where they were supposed to mark a year until the Invictus Games. This event, which supports wounded and injured service men and women, is a cause that Prince Harry has long been passionate about.
However, viewers were quick to point out a couple of mistakes in Kelner's report. She accidentally referred to Prince Harry as "King" and also stated that the monarch had five children. While King Charles does have five grandchildren, he only has two sons and two stepchildren from his second marriage to Queen Camilla.
The internet was abuzz with comments and reactions to the blunders made by Kelner. Some viewers were shocked and questioned whether they had misheard, while others criticized the presenter for not being well-informed about the royal family. Some even suggested that Sky News should hire a US correspondent who knows more about the topic.
However, not everyone was quick to judge Kelner for her mistakes. Some viewers defended her, suggesting that she may have meant to say "grandchildren" instead of "children."
In the midst of all this, Sky News also faced backlash for their coverage of the news. Some viewers felt that they shouldn't be interviewing people who are not knowledgeable about the royal family. Others pointed out that this is a common issue with the "royal rota press," who claim to be experts but often provide incorrect information.
As the news spread, more details and reactions started pouring in. In fact, Richard Madeley received backlash for his comments about Prince Harry following his father's cancer diagnosis. The moment BBC broke the news was also a significant moment in this whole situation.
