A video clip of Prime Minister Liz Truss stepping out of a black car and arriving for Her Majesty's funeral with her husband Hugh O'Leary has caused quite a stir - but not for any reason you might expect. Whilst the majority of British viewers would have found it easy to identify Mrs Truss, and by extension many would have guessed it was her husband accompanying her, the same understanding cannot be said for viewers Down Under or international journalists. Scroll down to watch the clip.
Hosts of Australia's Channel 9 coverage of the state funeral, journalists Peter Overton and Tracy Grimshaw failed to recognise Mrs Truss when she arrived for the funeral on Monday morning. Instead, they took a wild guess to say she and her husband were "minor Royals" or "local dignitaries".
A short clip of the amusing, incorrect commentary has drawn some 200,000 views on Twitter in just a few hours. Sharing the clip, Twitter user Shahryar Sultan said: "Australian presenters Peter Overton and Tracy Grimshaw unable to identify UK PM Liz Truss."
