But in a post on Mrs Foster's Twitter account, she mistakenly sent her best wishes to his already-married brother.

"Congratulations to HRH Prince William on his engagement to Megan (sic) Markle," she posted.

"Wonderful news this morning!"

The tweet was quickly deleted, with Mrs Foster correcting her error.

She later tweeted her apologies to the princes, joking that the mistake had ended her "chance of an invite".
