BBC coverage of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year could be hit by the row over the Corporation’s documentary series in which Prince William is accused of briefing the media against his brother.
William has already banned the broadcaster from showing a charity carol concert to be hosted by wife Kate at Westminster Abbey. But with the second part of The Princes And The Press airing on BBC2 tomorrow evening – and concerns it will further focus on the rift between William and Harry – the boycott may be extended.
Any suggestion that the Cambridges and other Royals tried to plant stories about Harry, particularly over his mental health, will infuriate the Palace and likely lead to retaliations.
An insider told The Mail on Sunday: ‘There is an expectation that this programme will be worse than the first. There are already plans for media coverage around the Jubilee but it’s not all nailed down.
‘Depending on what’s in the programme, there could be a withdrawal of co-operation when it comes to interviews or other projects with the BBC.’
