Royal Family Latest News Today – The royal households have issued a rare joint statement criticizing the BBC for giving credence to “overblown and unfounded claims” in a documentary broadcast on Monday night.
The first episode of Amol Rajan’s two-part The Princes And The Press series looked at the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex’s relationship with the media, including suggestions of royal sources briefing journalists behind the scenes.
“A free, responsible, and open press is of vital importance to a healthy democracy,” Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and Kensington Palace said in a statement to the BBC, which was shown at the end of the program.
“However, too often it is overblown and unfounded claims from unnamed sources that are presented as facts and it is disappointing when anyone, including the BBC, gives them credibility.”
During the programme, a lawyer for the Duchess of Sussex also responded to reports in 2018 about Meghan’s alleged treatment of palace staff.
In March, The Times newspaper reported that the duchess allegedly drove out two personal assistants and “humiliated” staff on several occasions, which she denies.
An investigation has since been launched by Buckingham Palace and the royal household has tasked an external legal team to assist its human resources team looking at allegations made against the former Suits star.
Jenny Afia, from the law firm Schillings, told Rajan on the programme: “Those stories were false. This narrative that no one can work for the Duchess of Sussex, she was too difficult and demanding as a boss and everyone had to leave, it’s just not true.”
Following the airing of the programme, a report published in The Sun claimed that William banned aides from briefing against family members.
According to the newspaper, the duke was “clear” he did not want aides to say anything about the other households after he saw reports during the split of his parents.
