BBC apologies for showing a willy drawn on Prince William's head

Bad form chaps.

COME ON NOW, he’s the future King of England! Show some respect!

The BBC has apologised after broadcasting a video which showed a picture of Prince William with a willy drawn on his head in marker.

He’s also “wearing” some glasses, a moustache, and is missing some teeth.

The image appears in the music video for the band Barbershopera’s song I Could Have Married Kate.

The apology was issued after eagle-eyed viewers spotted the faux -pas during a segment on BBC Breakfast and tweeted about it.

SPOILSPORTS.

Here’s the offending video:
