The few seconds were broadcast on BBC Breakfast for a promotional video of the comedy group Barbershopera‘s song, I Could Have Married Kate, in which the delightfully offensive phallic rendition appears. The BBC editors apparently “failed to spot the offending material”, causing them to issue their inevitable apology along the lines of, “Sorry Prince William, while we often express our artistically repressed woes as BBC editors in our spare time—drawing the occasional cock issuing from your mouth over breakfast—it probably doesn’t belong on TV, as hilarious as it is, et cetera.”
An early spotter of the slip up commented on Twitter by telling the BBC to “please be more careful” re: dicks on princes. More careful?
