King Charles will not be giving an interview to the BBC ahead of his Coronation in May, according to royal sources.
Royal commentator and author Stewart Pearce said that the monarch was keen to talk to the broadcaster to publicize his “manifesto” for a more modern Royal Family, however, the King has reportedly had a change of heart.
He told The Sun: “I believe strongly, that Charles will grant another interview to the BBC, possibly with somebody like Jonathan Dimbleby, whom he trusts and likes.”
The King was interviewed by Jonathan Dimbleby in 1994 for the show Charles: Private Man, the Public Role on ITV.
It was during this interview that he publicly admitted he had been unfaithful to his then-wife Princess Diana with Camilla Parker-Bowles.
A report had alleged talks had been held between the King and the BBC for months, with Charles possibly responding to attacks made against him in Harry’s book Spare.
However royal sources have downplayed the claim he will speak to the BBC for another special, as it emerged this week he has evicted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage.
