Arlene Foster 'sorry' for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wedding tweet
- Published
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will marry next year and will live in London
Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster has apologised for congratulating the wrong prince after Prince Harry announced his engagement.
The prince said on Monday that he would marry his US actress fiancee Meghan Markle next spring.
Mrs Foster quickly deleted her original tweet
But in a post on Mrs Foster's Twitter account, she mistakenly sent her best wishes to his already-married brother.
"Congratulations to HRH Prince William on his engagement to Megan (sic) Markle," she posted.
"Wonderful news this morning!"
The tweet was quickly deleted, with Mrs Foster correcting her error.
