BBC apologises over Queen clips | BBC apologises over Queen clips |
(10 minutes later) | |
The BBC has apologised to the Queen after clips implied she walked out of a photography session with Annie Leibovitz during a documentary. | |
The Queen had an altercation with Leibovitz over whether she should wear her tiara or not but the programme's trailer suggested she walked out. | |
The BBC said in a statement: "This was not the case and the actual sequence of events was mis-represented." | |
The documentary, A Year With The Queen, will be shown later this year. | |
"The BBC would like to apologise to both the Queen and Annie Leibovitz for any upset this may have caused", the corporation's statement continued. | |
Photographer Annie Leibovitz is seen in the trailer telling the Queen she will look better without her tiara because "the Garter robe is so..." | |
Before she can say "extraordinary", the Queen replies, pointing to what she is wearing: "Less dressy. What do you think this is?" | |
The clip then cut to the Queen walking through a Palace room immediately afterwards, implying she had stormed off from the portrait session. |
