A documentary about the royal family sounds like a safe option to watch with your grandparents on a Sunday afternoon, but a gaffe by Netflix has made a show about the monarchy look rather rude.
One viewer was forced to do a double take while scrolling through the streaming site when they spotted a show about the royals aligned with a thumbnail from a series about prostitutes.
The result was an optical illusion that made it looks as if the Duchess of Cambridge was wearing raunchy black underwear and stockings while kissing Prince William on their wedding day.
The mistake was shared by a Reddit user to the Casual UK forum, who called it the ‘risque side of Netflix’, and has received almost 1,000 likes.
A gaffe on Netflix made it look like the Duchess of Cambridge’s scantily clad bottom half was on show
The movies and shows on Netflix are arranged by genre and displayed in horizontal rows stacked on top of each other.
In this case, a programme called The Royals, which is about the British monarchy, sat on top of Escorts, a series about high-class sex workers.
The Royals’ thumbnail was a picture of Kate and Prince William sharing a kiss on their wedding day back in 2011, while the picture for Escorts showed a scantily clad woman holding a Champagne bottle.
When the pictures lined up it looked like the underwear-clad woman was actually Kate’s bottom half.
The hilarious coincidence left Reddit users in stitches, with one saying they’d love to watch the fictional show
While another pointed out that William hadn’t been given legs, writing: ‘My god, he’s bottomless.’
And it looked as if William had been disembodied, leaving only a floating torso.
The picture left Reddit users in stitches when it was shared on the message board.
One joked: ‘There is no way that this is a coincidence, Netflix is onto something.’
Another called for Netflix to use it as an idea for an actual series, while one added: ‘Is this included in Netflix price? Something tells me it will cost extra…’
The Netflix documentary follows the private lives of the royal family and is actually quite tame
