BBC News, interview with Prince Harry, 2 May 2025

Summary of complaint

We received complaints from people who felt where was too much coverage of a BBC News interview with Prince Harry.


Our response

This was a rare and exclusive interview with Prince Harry, and of significant interest to audiences, as it gave fresh insight to his relationship with the Royal Family, as well as his security arrangements.  We included a response from the Palace and from the Home Office in our coverage.

The interview was immediately covered by news outlets around the world.

We gave careful consideration to the news agenda and continued to provide UK audiences significant updates and analysis on the local elections in England.
