In a recent interview, Nicholas Wichel, a long-time royal correspondent for the BBC, shared his insights and opinions on the ongoing drama surrounding Meghan and Harry.

After 25 years of reporting on the royal family, Wichel is finally retiring and has chosen to speak his mind about some matters that haven’t been discussed before.

Wichel acknowledges the soap opera-like aspects of the royal family, stating that there has always been an appetite for scandalous reporting.

He notes that wherever Harry and Meghan go, drama seems to follow.

However, he also highlights that this is not the only drama that has occurred within the royal family over the years.

Wichel recalls an incident involving King Charles, where he made a negative comment about someone off-camera.

According to Wichel, the King was unhappy with a comparison made between his vacation and that of a former Prince of Wales with his mistress.

This incident led to a breakdown in communication between Wichel and the King for several years.

The royal correspondent emphasizes that his role is not to be liked by the royal family but to ask fair and searching questions.

He dispels the notion that royal correspondents are in the pocket of Buckingham Palace, stating that they report on what they see, rather than being hired by the royal family.

Wichel shares his worst moment as a reporter, which occurred during the coverage of baby Archie’s arrival.
