Meghan Markle issued a complaint to the BBC after they wrongly said she had apologised for misleading the High Court.
The Duchess of Sussex asked for clarification that she had actually apologised for "not remembering" that she had asked her former PR chief to help with controversial royal biography Finding Freedom.
Prince Harry's wife had previously denied co-operating with the project, and the BBC had said she had "no intention to mislead the court on this".
Her complaint comes after the comments on podcast Harry, Meghan and the Media - to accompany broadcaster Amol Rajan's BBC2 documentary The Princess and the Press.
In it, he referred to Meghan's victory over the Mail on Sunday following the publication of a "private" letter to her estranged father Thomas Markle.
It was during that case that it emerged Meghan had failed to remember email exchanges with her communications secretary Jason Knauf in which they discussed briefing writers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand for their biography.
Amol said on the podcast: "Initially Meghan Markle had said she hadn’t helped Scobie with the book. She apologised for misleading the court on this."
The BBC said in a statement to the Mirror: "We stated that the Duchess of Sussex apologised for misleading the court in her case against Associated Newspaper Group. The Duchess of Sussex has asked us to clarify that she apologised to the court for not remembering email exchanges with her former communications secretary, Jason Knauf, in her evidence, and said that she had no intention to mislead the court."
Last year, Mr Knauf revealed that Meghan had allowed him to speak with the authors of Finding Freedom.
His statement contradicted her previous denials of involvement in statements to the High Court.
Meghan had previously said she did not know whether her team had given information to the authors and insisted that she hadn't been contacted for "clarification of any materials relating to the book".
However, Mr Knauf shared an exchange shortly before he was due to meet the writers, in which Meghan said: "For when you sit down with them it may be helpful to have some background reminders so I’ve included them below just in case.
"I know you are better versed at this than most but assisting where I can. I appreciate your support – please let me know if you need me to fill in any other blanks. Thank you!"
Meghan later told the High Court she had "absolutely no wish or intention to mislead the defendant or the court" but accepted Mr Knauf had offered information for the book with her knowledge.
The Mirror has contacted the BBC for comment.
