Spanish TV Names Harry Styles The Father Of The Royal Baby

Spanish TV Names Harry Styles The Father Of The Royal Baby

They picked the wrong direction there.

In a ridiculous mix up, a Spanish news programme named musician and former One Direction star Harry Styles as the father of the new royal baby.

That would be a turn up for the books, wouldn't it?

The programme, which is called Cuéntamelo Ya! made the gaffe as they were showing the first outing of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan with their young son, who has been named Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor.

Oh dear.

Unfortunately for them, whilst the couple were emerging carrying their baby, they broadcast a wrap around caption that read "Harry Styles y Meghan Markle" and, because this is the internet, people were more than happy to screenshot it and share it around the world.

Since that happened, the tweet has gone viral. It has been shared around 2,000 times and has been liked 8,900 times.

Bad news if you're the poor guy who made the mistake.

One Twitter user joked: "In a span of seconds harry styles is married, is a royal, and has a newborn."

Another said: "They really messed up."

Well, that much is abundantly clear.

However, they aren't the only ones to knacker the whole job up. Even the official website of the royal family isn't above completely screwing it up.

Yesterday they announced the young lad as "the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge".

Well, as every schoolchild knows - or has had rammed into their head by now - the kids is the child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are his aunt and uncle.

Jeez, come on guys.

Luckily, the pair seem to be delighted with their new arrival. Prince Harry said yesterday: "Parenting is amazing.

"It's only been two and a half days, three days, but we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy."

His wife, Meghan, added: "It's magic, it's pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy."

Here he is.

As for any early hiccups along the road, apparently he's a good boy already. Meghan told reporters that their young royal already has the "sweetest temperament", to which her husband replied: "I don't know who he gets that from".

Perhaps he gets it from his Spanish TV dad, and maybe he'll even have a lovely singing voice when he grows up as well.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see on that front.Featured Image Credit: PA
