The BBC’s royal correspondent who was famously described by the King as an “awful” man, is retiring after nearly five decades with the corporation.
Veteran broadcaster Nicholas Witchell, who has covered the royal family since 1998, will retire next year after joining the broadcaster as a graduate news trainee in 1976.
In 2005, the then Prince of Wales, was caught on a microphone making remarks about Nicholas, who had asked a question about the royal’s upcoming nuptials to Camilla Parker Bowles during a photoshoot in the Swiss Alps.
He said: “Bloody people. I can’t bear that man. I mean, he is so awful, he really is.” The BBC said: “After 47 fantastic years, we will be bidding farewell to royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell, who will be retiring next year. “Nick has reported from across the world and presented key BBC News shows.Thank you for your remarkable service!” The tributes have come flooding in for the veteran after the news broke online.
