Buckingham Palace demands ban of misleading documentary

Buckingham Palace is demanding banning of a controversial BBC documentary, which reportedly shows the Queen storming off a photo shoot.

London, July 29 : Buckingham Palace is demanding banning of a controversial BBC documentary, which reportedly shows the Queen storming off a photo shoot.

The film by RDF media called 'A Year With The Queen' shows the Brit monarch leaving the photoshoot with Annie Slivovitz, after she suggested that the royal must remove her crown, which the latter thought was making the monarch look "too dressy".

However, it was later found that the footage had been doctored, and that the Queen was actually on the way in where she was shown "walking out" in anger

The BBC rendered an apology after admitting that the documentary manipulated a few shots to imply that the Queen left the photo shoot.

It seems that the channel is reluctant to scrap the documentary, insisting that they will remove the misleading footage for broadcast in autumn, reports the Daily Mail.

However, Buckingham Palace is adamant that they as well as the public are doubtful about the authenticity of the film.

The BBC has now roped in their former managing director to conduct an enquiry into the issue

"The BBC has commissioned Will Wyatt (a former managing director of BBC Broadcast) to conduct an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the inclusion of this project in the recent BBC1 autumn launch. We do not feel it appropriate to comment on matters relating to this until the inquiry has reported," the paper quoted a BBC executive as saying.

"I see no reason why the film shouldn't be broadcast. It was well researched," an insider said.

RDF blamed the employees for the misleading footage and said that they will be disappointed if the film is banned.
