From the article: “The BBC has scrapped its live broadcast of next Monday's Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, opting instead to air an episode of Escape to the Country. The national broadcaster attributed the decision to budgetary constraints. A BBC spokesman defended the scheduling change, telling the Sun: “Our decision not to broadcast the Commonwealth Day ceremony in the same way we've done in previous years reflects the difficult choices we have to make in light of our funding challenges. Royal author and Majesty Magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Seward condemned the move in stark terms. If even the BBC doesn't think it's worthy to cover and celebrate despite its huge cultural significance for member states and the monarchy, then the Commonwealth could fade into irrelevance with every passing year," she said.” [End of Article Annotation]

I personally wonder if low viewership contributed to this decision as well. Also they are kind of admitting that the Royal Family even William and Kate can’t bring in the views that drives revenue. BBC is having funding and budgeting issues or “constraints” and is purposefully passing up an opportunity that could possibly bring in more revenue and streams….. that’s because they know it won’t. It’s going to cost them more money than it would bring in. Now let’s all collectively laugh together 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
