Part two of the controversial ‘The Princes and the Press’, which focuses on Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship with the British press, is scheduled to air on Monday and the BBC have made a change in order to satisfy the wishes of the Duke of Sussex, 37.

The second instalment will not use the term ‘Megxit’ after Prince Harry referred to the term as “misogynistic” and said it was “created by a troll”.

Instead of the label, the term ‘Sussexit’ will be used in the episode which focuses on the “circumstances around the decision of the Sussexes to step down from their senior royal roles”.

The BBC approached Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Palace for comment about the series, and they provided the following joint statement: “A free, responsible and open press is of vital importance to a healthy democracy.

“However, too often overblown and unfounded claims from unnamed sources are presented as facts and it is disappointing when anyone, including the BBC, gives them credibility.”

Prince William to be perfect ‘sidekick’ to Charles

Prince William will be the perfect ‘sidekick’ to Prince Charles when he takes the throne, a historian has claimed.

Royal historian Dr Ed Owens also pointed out that despite the step away from royal duties undertaken by Prince Harry, 37, last year, the popularity Royal Family will still continue onwards due to the public image of William, his wife Kate and their three children.

Dr Owens told Express.co.uk: “Yes one son has gone. One, if you like, trusted lieutenant has departed and does not seem interested in supporting his father, as was originally the plan.

“But in William, Charles does have a trusty sidekick, and so long as the Cambridges are popular and maintain their public image as this idyllic family group, I do not see a moment of crisis on the horizon.”
