The BBC has admitted to “a lapse in our usual high editorial standards” over its coverage on Radio 4’s Today programme of the broadcaster’s recent interview with the Duke of Sussex.

The admission came after it failed to include responses from the Home Office and Buckingham Palace to allegations made by the duke.
