The Today Show suffered an awkward blunder on Monday as it’s closed captions said King Charles was set to undergo ‘prostitute surgery’.
The highly-watched US morning show, which airs on NBC, was reporting on the king’s recent surgery for an enlarged prostate.
But instead of reporting about the medical procedure, the caption read the king was to have ‘prostitute surgery’.
The blunder was spotted by Below Deck and the Traitors US star Kate Chastain who uploaded it to Instagram and joked ‘I bet AI is in charge of closed captions for the Today Show’.
Last week the royal was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and revealed he will attend hospital this week to be treated.

Aides said the King’s condition was benign and he would be having a corrective procedure. His engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.
Queen Camilla has revealed the King is ‘fine’ as he prepares for the treatment.
She has reportedly told ‘workaholic’ Charles to ‘slow down’ in the wake of his recent health scare.
The Queen, 76, told well-wishers over the weekend that her husband was ‘fine’ as he awaits an operation for an enlarged prostate.
Charles has gained a reputation for being dedicated to his work and packed 2023 full of engagements – with one tally suggesting he undertook 516 over the course of the year including 94 abroad.
He had to immediately cancel all public duties on the advice of doctors last week after his symptoms were spotted and he was diagnosed with the benign condition.
The Palace said His Majesty would be undertaking ‘a short period of recuperation,’ which is expected to last around a month. But now, an insider has claimed that the Queen has urged him to take a new approach to his work.

Speaking to The Sun, they said: ‘The Queen has told him he needs to slow down a bit.’
The King has kept up his workload after he acceded to the throne 16 months ago and had his coronation at Westminster Abbey last May after more than 70 years as heir.
Palace aides have worked to ensure that he and Camilla are not overloaded as they adjust to life on the throne.
One insider recently suggested that the Queen has struggled with the increased pace of her work.
Meanwhile, the transition is said to have left the King feeling ‘anxious’, according to another source, cited by The Telegraph.
Royal biographer Robert Jobson said that the King is ‘a grafter’ and ‘has always had an innate sense of duty and tried his best to justify his good fortune by working tirelessly to improve the lot of others less fortunate than himself’.
While Camilla has continued with her back-to-back schedule, the King’s public duties are now on hold as he recovers at his Sandringham Estate.
His Majesty will be admitted to an unidentified hospital to be treated this week.

Camilla also said last week that the King was ‘fine’, adding that he is ‘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 to him.’
Prince Harry also shared the feeling that their father should ‘slow down’ a bit.
Announcing Charles’ diagnosis last week, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said : ‘In common with thousands of men each 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 engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.’
The King and Queen Camilla were at his Scottish home Birkhall when they received the shock news, just after it was disclosed that the Princess of Wales was in hospital
