Prince Harry recently had an interview on the BBC where he trotted out his security concerns and other items of interest to himself. Now, it allegedly caused a rift between the BBC and the Royal Family. Read on to find out why.
The BBC Forgot Protocol?
The update about the interview with the Duke of Sussex, it was claimed, was that it was only meant to be 10 minutes, according to expert Neil Sean. On Saturday’s Daily News Headlines, Neil told his followers that there’s a “problem brewing between the British monarchy and the BBC.”
Elaborating, he noted that the “BBC interview created a few bombshells,” and it all happened because Meghan Markle’s husband “decided to sit down [for an interview] straight after losing that mega security court case.”
Well, the 10 minutes went on for much longer, and it lasted for about half an hour. In the opinion of Neil, the outlet milked it because they know how easy it’s so easy to get Harry to talk about himself. The trouble is that it seems as if the mega-media outlet forgot to follow protocol.
A Deep Rift
The expert continued by saying:
BBC claimed that they didn’t have time to tip off the British monarchy… courtesy, common courtesy. But…they had two hours. They decided in their infinite wisdom to roll out at the 6 p.m. news rather than the 10 p.m. news because they got hot stuff, half an hour with Prince Harry bashing, of course, the British monarchy.
As the outlet already faces problems with people not wanting to watch it these days, it seems like they made a fatal mistake. A well-placed source suggested to Neil that Prince William and Princess Catherine prefer to engage with the public directly through social media.
Of course, they are better able to control what goes out to the public. Even King Charles seems to be going that route, “with Amazon.”
Neil thinks that Prince Harry’s actions and the BBC’s failure to approach the Palace contributed to the downfall of what was once considered a good media outlet.
News For Clicks
If it’s true that the Palace wasn’t notified about the interview, then Neil feels that they were being “shortsighted in the desperate bid to get some…high ratings and click-ons.” Thanks to their decision and Harry not keeping his mouth shut, Neil concluded that the BBC has “offended the biggest institution” in the UK.
In the comments section on YouTube, critics of Harry and Meghan didn’t hold back their thoughts. One of them wrote, “I’m utterly disgusted at the BBC giving Harry a platform to spit his bile at his father and the Royal family…”
Another one opined, “I already didn’t like the BBC but this was the icing on the “I hate the BBC cake.” I can’t see us supporting them ever again. We don’t watch TV anymore.”
