Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been in the UK for over two weeks, but apart from the time cameras captured them arriving at Birmingham airport, there has been no sighting since. However, there have been plenty of headlines about the couple, which seem to have caused a stir among the British public.

There was so much coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that the BBC had to issue a statement in response to complaints. The broadcaster did not share how many complaints it received from disgruntled viewers, but dismissed the claims being made about its reportage.

Prince Harry had stated in an interview last year that he would not be able to bring his wife and children back to the UK unless taxpayer-funded protection was provided. The BBC noted that its coverage aimed to address key matters, such as the roles the couple would fulfill in the country, security concerns, and how they would be funded. Moreover, dealing with the British media and navigating family relations has also remained a topic of intense public interest.

"We gave appropriate scrutiny to these issues, reflecting the context in which they occur," the broadcaster stated. It continued, "We detailed the circumstances relating to the couple's departure from the UK in 2020 and the timeline of events that have impacted their relationship with the Royal Family and the media. We made it clear that Harry and Meghan will not be resuming royal duties."

The broadcaster insisted that articles concerning the couple's return had been "the most read on our website over the last two weeks." "We appreciate that not everyone shares this view. We have continued to report on many other stories of national and international significance," the statement added. "We believe our approach to this story was proportionate, offering legitimate analysis of its various implications."
