Prince Harry Interview Coverage on Radio 4’s ‘Today’ Featured ‘Lapse in Usual High Editorial Standards’ by Not Challenging ‘Establishment Stitch-Up’ Claim, BBC Says


The BBC has issued a clarification over Radio 4's "Today" show concerning its coverage of the broadcaster's recent Prince Harry interview.

In the bombshell conversation, which aired on Friday after the prince lost his appeal for higher security protections in the U.K., he called the outcome of his case a “good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up” and revealed that his father, King Charles III, “won’t speak to him” because of it. The clarification also refers to Buckingham Palace’s statement on the interview, which was included in BBC News’ reporting on the matter: “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.” Elsewhere in the interview, the prince said he is “devastated” about losing the appeal, which concerned a judge’s decision last year to uphold the downgrading of his U.K. security arrangements after he and wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from royal duties.
