BBC political journalist Jonathan Dimleby has defended the BBC following claims made by Jeremy Paxman that it “fawns” over the Royal family.
Paxman will make the criticisms in an edition of Radio 4’s Archive Hour tomorrow evening - which is looking at the historic relationship between the BBC and the monarchy.
Dimbleby told MediaGuardian.co.uk: “I think it gets the balance broadly right. It is an important job to scrutinise institutions like the monarchy.”
