Clumsy blunder for US Today Show as subtitle reads King Charles needs to undergo 'prostitute surgery'

The Today Show made an awkward blunder on Monday when the subtitles said King Charles was about to undergo “prostitute surgery.”

The well-watched American morning show, broadcast on NBC, reported on the king's recent operation for an enlarged prostate.

But instead of reporting on the medical procedure, the caption read that the king would undergo “prostitute surgery.”

The blunder was spotted by Below Deck and The Traitors US star Kate Chastain, who uploaded the blunder to Instagram and joked: 'I bet AI is responsible for the closed captioning for the Today Show'.

Last week the royal was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and revealed he will go to hospital this week for treatment.

Aides said the king's condition was benign and he would undergo a corrective procedure. His engagements will be postponed for a short period of recovery.

Queen Camilla has revealed that the King is doing 'well' as he prepares for treatment.

She has reportedly told 'workaholic' Charles to 'slow down' in the wake of his recent health problems.

The Queen, 76, told well-wishers last weekend that her husband was doing “well” as he awaits surgery on an enlarged prostate.

Charles has built a reputation for being dedicated to his work and was packed with assignments in 2023 – with one count showing he undertook 516 during the year, including 94 abroad.

Last week, he was forced to immediately cancel all public duties on the advice of doctors after his symptoms were noticed and he was diagnosed with the benign condition.

The palace said His Majesty would undertake a “short period of recovery”, expected to last about a month. But now an insider claims the Queen has urged him to take a new approach to his work.

Speak with The sunthey said, “The queen has told him to take it easy.”

The king has kept up his workload after ascending the throne 16 months ago and being crowned at Westminster Abbey last May after more than 70 years as heir.

Palace aides have made sure he and Camilla don't become overburdened as they adjust to life on the throne.

An insider recently suggested that the Queen is struggling with the increased pace of her work.

Meanwhile, the king is said to have felt 'anxious' due to the transition, another source said, quoted by The Telegraph.

Royal biographer Robert Jobson said the king is 'a grafter' and 'has always had an innate sense of duty and did his best to justify his good fortune by working tirelessly to improve the lot of others less fortunate than himself.”

While Camilla continues her back-to-back schedule, the King's public duties are now on hold while he recuperates at his Sandringham estate.

His Majesty will be admitted to an undisclosed hospital this week for treatment.

Camilla also said last week that the king was doing “fine”, adding that he was “looking forward to getting back to work” despite the shock diagnosis.

In the 2018 BBC documentary Prince, Son and Heir, Prince William said: 'The man never stops.

“When we were kids, there were bags and bags and bags of work that the office just sent him.”

Prince Harry also shared the sentiment that their father needed to slow down a bit.

Announcing Charles' diagnosis last week, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: 'Like thousands of men every year, the King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate.

“His Majesty's condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure. The King's public appearances will be postponed for a short period of recovery.”

The King and Queen Camilla were at his Scottish home Birkhall when they received the shocking news, just after it was revealed the Princess of Wales was in hospital.
