Royal fans spot 'spelling mistake' in Coronation invite to Ukraine's first lady

Royal fans have spotted what they claim to be a spelling mistake on the official Coronation invite to Ukraine's First Lady.

Olena Zelenska posted the heraldic-inspired invitation on Twitter, saying her "Invitation that will be remembered forever"

However, followers were quick to point out what appeared to be a glaring mistake in the spelling of the world 'Ukraine'.

Many spotted that the word 'Ukraine' appeared to be missing an 'R' - and had in fact been written as "Ukaine" in ornate calligraphy.

One said: "Please tell me that isn't a spelling mistake on the very official coronation invite"

Another said: "So thrilled that you came. So embarrassed about the spelling error."

While another Twitter user joked: "Invitation that will be remembered forever — because of the occasion or because of the misspelling on the invitation and the envelope?"

However, another user disputed the typo, claiming it was old English cursive writing instead, reports Sky News.

Zelenska added: "Was honored to attend coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla @RoyalFamily and to wish them a successful reign and prosperity. Was glad to hear words of support toward Ukraine from guests of the ceremony."

Royals, state leaders and their representatives from around gathered for the historic occasion on the weekend.

Among the throng of dignitaries and foreign royals was Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, continuing the tradition of the country’s presidents not attending.

Dressed in pink, she was photographed with Akshata Murty, wife of Rishi Sunak, who came under fire for her tax status last year.

Along with her granddaughter Finnegan Biden, Jill visited a central London primary school and Minister for Veterans’ Affair Johnny Mercer.

Royals from Liechtenstein, Spain, Norway, Romania, Belgium, Denmark, Japan, and Luxembourg were all snapped today attending the royal event for overseas guests held at Buckingham Palace.

Hereditary princess Sophie of Liechtenstein was pictured with her partner prince Alois.

The Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark, Frederik and May, were also in attendance.
