The BBC admits to “a lapse in our usual high editorial standards” during its interview with Prince Harry this weekend.
The BBC let Prince Harry drone on and on about how he is the victim of a royal life but did not fact check anything he said. He repeatedly claimed that there had been “an establishment stitch-up” but named no names and the BBC admits that it “failed to properly challenge this and other allegations.”
The BBC also failed to ask for a response from the Palace and the Home Office.
Why would they drop all journalistic protocol for Prince Harry, do you think? Well, the BBC did the same thing with his mother, Princess Diana, by tricking her into interviews when she was alive so should we expect anything else?
