BBC slammed for Jubilee coverage of 'bored' Princess Charlotte

  • 07/06/2022

The BBC has been criticised for its coverage of Princess Charlotte during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee over the weekend.

The British broadcasting giant panned the camera to show the seven-year-old yawning and looking disinterested throughout the Jubilee celebrations - a decision that upset many royal fans.

The coverage fuelled a wave of remarks about Charlotte on social media.

"Princess Charlotte looks bored out of her skull," one person tweeted.

"Princess Charlotte looked totally bored the whole night," wrote another.

But people were quick to the Princess's defence, calling out the coverage of the royal children.

"Stop panning to Prince George and Princess Charlotte just to catch them looking bored and fidgety - give them a break. They're kids, having to sit through hours of stuff for grown-ups," one Twitter user wrote.

"Everyone saying Prince George and Princess Charlotte are 'bored'. They were in Cardiff mere hours ago – they've had a busy day! At their age I'd have been zonked out my seat," another person wrote.

However, despite their jam-packed schedule the royal children were seen enjoying the celebrations throughout the day.

The kids were seen dancing in their seats to Queen and Adam Lambert's performance of 'We Will Rock You' and waving their flags throughout the show.

Earlier, Charlotte was seen giggling as she conducted a band's performance of 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' from the Disney film Encanto.

The youngest brother, Louis, missed out on the Palace party but still made his mark, stealing the show with his adorable face-pulling at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

The Queen was also not in attendance at the Palace concert, but appeared in a surprise video recorded with Paddington instead.
