The BBC has admitted that its interview with Prince Harry over his UK security setback fell short of its expected journalistic standards. The Duke of Sussex was interviewed by BBC News last Friday<\/a> after the Court of Appeal rejected his bid to overturn a decision to downgrade his security when he is in the UK.<\/p>\n

The Duke\u2019s high-level police protection was removed by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) after he and his wife, Meghan Markle<\/a>, stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US. In Friday\u2019s interview, Prince Harry<\/a> blasted the decision by Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean and Lord Justice Edis and urged the Government to intervene \u2013 but also said he wanted reconciliation with his family. The BBC<\/a> has now admitted a breach of its \u201cusual high editorial standards\u201d in its coverage.<\/p>\n

In a statement on its corrections and clarifications website, the BBC<\/a> said: \u201cWe failed to properly challenge this and other allegations. This case is ultimately the responsibility of the Home Office and we should have reflected their statement.”<\/p>\n

The BBC<\/a> also said the programme \u201cshould have given the view of Buckingham Palace\u201d, adding: \u201cThis was a lapse in our usual high editorial standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to Prince\u00a0<\/a>Harry\u2019<\/a>s claims to the BBC<\/a>, Buckingham Palace\u00a0<\/a>issued a blunt statement<\/a> that said: \u201cAll of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”<\/p>\n
