A spectacularly awkward Princess Charlotte headline.

Oh, dear.

A newspaper in the UK has announced the name of the Royal Baby in the most spectacularly awkward fashion.

The Daily Record this morning featured a large picture of the new princess on its front cover — positioned, rather unfortunately, next to an unrelated headline that declared in large lettering: ‘SHAMEFUL’.

To make matters worse, another headline positioned just next to the image read: ‘Traitor and a bitch’.

Oh, editors. You had one job.

Wow. I don't think that any part of that front page is accidental at all. All those headlines strategically placed, all the font sizes specifically chosen? A lot of thought has gone into that "accidental" "unfortunate" headline. Not cool. If you have something to say, just come out and say it. Don't hide behind "poor choice of editing".

They have also missed the fact that Charlotte has been named after her mother too, whose middle name is Elizabeth.
