Huw Edwards Won’t Be Stripped Of BAFTA, RTS Awards For Royal Events After Child Sex Image Storm


Huw Edwards, the former BBC presenter, will keep his BAFTA and Royal Television Society awards for anchoring royal events after his fall from grace.

EXCLUSIVE: Huw Edwards will keep hold of awards trophies for his coverage of major royal events, including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, after pleading guilty to accessing child abuse images. Edwards will keep hold of other BAFTA awards including the 2012 gong for Sport & Live Event, which was presented to the BBC for its coverage of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011. The BBC has started to remove Edwards from library content, including an episode of Doctor Who, but appears willing to stand by archive footage of the newsreader during major national moments.
