BBC breaks silence on 'insensitive' Kate Middleton cancer coverage accusations

The BBC has responded to complaints about 'excessive and insensitive' coverage of Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis.

In a statement, the broadcaster acknowledged “not everyone would have approved of the approach we took” and admitted they had received complaints from viewers who found the coverage 'excessive and insensitive'. Directly responding to the accusations, a spokesperson said: “We broadcast in full the highly personal video message from the Princess of Wales, in which she spoke directly to the public about her cancer diagnosis. Our coverage reflected the significance of this story and the outpouring of support for the princess from around the globe. We explained to our audience what was known about Catherine’s condition, but did not speculate on details that had not been made public.

"We always give careful consideration to the editorial decisions we make. While we have a responsibility to report on stories that are of interest to our audience, we appreciate that not everyone would have approved of the approach we took.”
