Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's hugely popular Instagram account has fans buzzing over a royal spelling mistake in their most recent post.

According to the Sun, fans have been obsessing over a typo in the Maya Angelou quote shared on the Sussexes' Instagram page on 15 October.

The post marked the couple's return from their royal tour of Africa along with five-month-old Archie.

During the tour, the Duchess focused her speeches on discussing gender issues and violence against women.

The quote formed the opening words of her speech on the first day of the tour in Nyanga, South Africa, to the Mbokodo Girls' Empowerment Program: "Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it, possibly without claiming it, she stands up for all women".

The post was shared in white font on a dark blue background and featured the Sussex monogram.

However, the typo was glaringly obvious, as the post read: "Each time a women stands up for herself…"

Following our tradition of rotating the accounts we follow on a monthly basis, for the month of October we are celebrating “community.” • Over the last week on their official tour to Southern Africa, The Duke and Duchess have had a poignant reminder of the importance of community - the sense of support and togetherness that is felt from feeling like you are a part of something that respects difference but also celebrates shared values for the greater good. Please let us know the favourite organisation in your community - one you enjoy volunteering for, or that makes you proud to be a part of - one that supports you personally in your everyday life, and that defines what you feel community is all about. Based on your suggestions we will then choose our new accounts to follow for October. Thanks so much and thanks for being a part of the Sussex community! Photo ©️ High Commission

The post also mistakenly spelled it "Mbokobo".

The caption went on to describe Angelou, a poet, civil rights activist, and singer, as having been "hailed as a new kind of memoirist" who had inspired people around the world.

"[She] openly discussed her personal life in order to help others."

The post read: "These words…should always be a reminder that no matter how big or small, your voice has a purpose."

The post had hit 282,635 likes but most of the comments focused on the spelling error.

Commenters were quick to point out the correct spelling, with one simply writing "woman" and another "You mean woman?"

Others commended the meaning behind the post.

"Thank you Meghan for this important reminder to women all over the world!" one wrote.

"Maya was a true icon. Just as you are Meghan."
