LAWYERS for the royal family were said to be on standby today after the BBC was accused of giving credibility to “overblown, unfounded claims” in a controversial documentary.

Lawyers at ready as BBC accused of ‘giving credibility to overblown royal split claims'

Courtiers were not given the opportunity to view the programme called The Princes and the Press before it aired last night on BBC Two.

The first of the two-part programme explored the relationship of Prince William and Prince Harry with the media, including claims that sources close to royal households gave briefings to journalists.

Next week’s episode is expected to explore the legal cases brought against British newspapers by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The row with the BBC prompted Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Place to issue a rare joint statement, which was shown at the end of the programme last night.
