Royal wedding takes turn for the NSFW with BBC subtitle error

Oops.

British royal weddings are usually posh affairs, steeped in tradition, and not really the place to make mention of, uuuh, people's private parts.

That is nonetheless what happened when BBC News subtitled its coverage of Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank.

A commentary on the Princess's dress ended up being subtitled as a remark on... not her dress. The mistake was most likely not due to human error, but rather an automated subtitle malfunction.

People on social media were very amused by the NSFW mistake.

The BBC even started trolling itself over the error.

Machine or not, that could happen to even the breast of us.
