Overview
- In a statement, the BBC said the references were "errors during hours of live broadcasting" and apologized for the misnaming.
- Reports noted the on-air references occurred multiple times, and Catherine has not formally used the name since her 2011 marriage to Prince William.
- Viewer complaints were followed by a public rebuke from MP Jim Shannon, who urged the broadcaster to use the Princess of Wales’ correct title.
- The segment was anchored by Rajini Vaidyanathan, and the BBC said that elsewhere in its Armistice Day coverage Catherine was referred to by her title.
- The broadcast coincided with remembrance events where the Princess attended the National Memorial Arboretum and released a video message.
