In the 68 years that Queen Elizabeth has been on the British throne, it’s rare that she’s ever made a mistake of any kind. That’s why it came as a huge surprise this week when her official Twitter account slipped up and made an error that the entire world saw.

People Magazine reported that the official Twitter account for the Queen, 94, and her family accidentally posted a tweet that simply read “thanks.” The tweet was only up for six minutes before it was deleted, but screenshots of the mistake have since gone viral.

Social media users have been having a field day with this since the error was brought to light.

“Well it’s about time I got some recognition!” one person commented, with another adding, “You’re welcome Liz, and I’ve kept the receipt in case you want to change it kid, OK?”

“Can’t wait to hear the story behind this misfire,” a third person wrote, with a fourth commenting, “I’m concerned about the person that wrote this… did they faint, answer the door… or worse?”

This comes days after it was announced that the Queen would not be spending Christmas at her Sandringham estate for the first time in 32 years due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, she will be celebrating Christmas at Windsor Castle, where she has been isolating with her 99 year-old husband Prince Philip for months amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

“Having considered all the appropriate advice, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have decided that this year they will spend Christmas quietly in Windsor,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement, according to Entertainment Tonight.

It’s been a tradition for decades that the British royal family spends Christmas at their Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England. There, they typically make public appearances on Christmas morning at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene service. However, royal reporters say that the 94 year-old Queen is not planning to attend any church services due to concerns over crowds amidst COVID-19.

“Christmas is something the Queen has always done with enormous, genuine family style, and is facing not doing so sadly,” royal biographer Robert Lacey, author of “Battle of Brothers,” previously told People Magazine. He added that “she is accepting of that.”
