BBC Breakfast viewers demand 'end' and say 'stop using our money on this'

BBC Breakfast has been slapped with complaints as fans demand a "stop" to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle coverage. BBC Breakfast aired a segment on Prince Harry and Meghan on Saturday (May 18) with fans rushing to slam the programme for its relentless preoccupation with the former Royal Family members.

"The Prince of Wales is on official duty today. Nothing on the headlines about him, but covering the ridiculous Meghan and Harry continuing privacy tour, it's absolutely ridiculous. Please stop using our money on covering this pair, thank you," one raged.

"He may be the son of the King, but they walked away. You don't feature Princess Anne when she's out working, or Prince Edward. Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, they're rarely featured when they're working. Why is it necessary to feature the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?" another said.

"The BBC are so bias, it takes them so long to catch everyone else up - newsflash - H and M walked away from being royal!" another sniped. "BBC are so obviously biased. Shame on them for covering the Sussex’s cash cow as if it was a Royal tour. The Sussex’s called the whole country a slur, the majority don’t care for them," another fumed.

Another said: "Our media need to realise, for the majority of the public, H&M are non-entities. All the media does is keep them relevant, and, allows them to make money doing nothing .... for anyone but themselves."

The BBC said: "This week we covered King Charles handing over his Army Air Corps Role to Prince William, the unveiling of the King's new portrait, the publication of previously unseen photographs of the Royal Family, the Queen's visit to the Badminton horse trials and her decision not to buy new fur."

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are of interest to our audiences, particularly given that Prince Harry did not meet his father on his recent visit to London," it added. "We covered the trip to Nigeria as it was part of the 10 year anniversary of the Invictus Games, a competition for wounded service personnel."
