The BBC's documentary titled "Charles III: The Coronation Year" has stirred controversy, garnering 897 complaints from viewers who allege bias in favor of the monarchy.
Premiering on December 26 and produced by Oxford Films, the 90-minute special has sparked a debate among its audience, with some expressing dissatisfaction over perceived partiality towards the monarchy.
Despite receiving widespread applause from royal enthusiasts, the documentary has drawn criticism, leading to a substantial number of complaints against the broadcaster.
The documentary provides an intimate look at the King, featuring behind-the-scenes footage, including humorous moments where the monarch jests about having "sausage fingers" with his son, Prince William, during Coronation rehearsals.
Responding to the backlash, the BBC defended its production, stating, "Charles III: The Coronation Year is a unique observational documentary covering a historically significant period as the King assumes new duties and prepares for the first Coronation in the country in 70 years. It offers exclusive access and captures personal moments as the King adapts to his new role. Editorial control remains with the BBC."
