The BBC has apologized to Queen Elizabeth (to whom I refer as Her Royal Hiny, since she does not do much more than sit on her butt all day) for “mistakenly showing footage that wrongly implied she walked out of a portrait session during a documentary.”
The BBC showing something misleading? I am shocked I tell you ! Shocked!
Here’s BBC One’s Six O’Clock News report showing the footage in question, as well as the BBC’s apology.
While I would, of course, not be surprised if the BBC deliberately misrepresented what happened through some choice editing, I think the Queen would still come out looking like a pretentious hag. Sure, the sequence of events may be false, but she clearly said what she said. This is not a warm person.
I was particularly amused by the statement in the report “It’s an image that goes completely against how the public perceives her Majesty.” Do they mean to tell us that this behavior from the Queen is somehow surprising?
