BROADCASTERS are in a row with the royal family over rights to use footage of the Queen’s funeral and surrounding events, as Buckingham Palace insisted that media organisations could only keep an hour of video for future use.
ITV, Sky News and the BBC are among those who have been told they have until Monday to curate a 60-minute segment of clips from official events held in the 10-day mourning period. Once received, the royal household will consider if they want to rule out particular bits of footage.
Once the compilations have been approved, most of the other footage from the events will be removed from circulation and usage of unapproved clips will require permission on a case-by-case basis.
