Eagle-eyed fans spotted a typo in a recent post that features on the page – and staff were quick to make amends.

Royal watchers pointed out that that the first 'women' in the quote should have read 'woman'.

The caption that accompanied the original post read: "Maya Angelou was an American poet, singer, civil rights activist and was hailed as a new kind of memoirist - inspiring people around the world as one of the first African-American women who openly discussed their personal life in order to help others. These words, used in The Duchess' speech on the opening day of the Southern Africa Tour in Nyanga, South Africa, surrounded by the inspiring Mbokobo girls, should always be a reminder that no matter how big or small, your voice has a purpose."
