 DOCTORED DOCU: A clip from the documentary LONDON: The BBC has apologised to the Queen for wrongly implying she walked out of a portrait session with photographer Annie Leibovitz during a documentary.

A trailer for the programme, unveiled on Wednesday, showed the Queen in an exchange with Leibovitz, followed by a clip of her apparently walking off.
The BBC said in a statement, This was not the case and the actual sequence of events was misrepresented.

The documentary, A Year With The Queen, will be shown later this year. The BBC would like to apologise to both the Queen and Annie Leibovitz for any upset this may have caused, the corporations statement added.

Leibovitz is seen in the trailer telling the Queen she will look better without her tiara because the Garter robe is so... Before she can say extraordinary, the Queen replies, pointing to what she is wearing, Less dressy.
