Sarah Ferguson sparked backlash with a glaring error in her tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
The Duchess of York, 64, took to her various social media profiles to wish Her Late Majesty a happy birthday, as she would have celebrated her 98th birthday today.
However, Fergie, as the duchess is affectionately known, did not use the correct age in her post.
She wrote: "Today we are remembering Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on what would have been her 97th birthday.

"Thank you for all that you have taught us, for being a steadfast leader and dear friend. You are sorely missed."
Royal fans immediately responded to Sarah to correct the former working royal.
One said: "Very missed indeed. She would have been 98."
Meanwhile, another simply wrote: "Correction, 98."

Another added: "Err..98..!!" with several angry emojis.
However, others came out in defence of Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's mother, insisting it was a typo.
One person said: "To all those correcting Sarah Ferguson, I'm sure she knows exactly how old HM Queen Elizabeth would have been. It can only be a typo."
Sarah previously described the late monarch as her "total idol".
