BBC bosses felt snubbed when King Charles filmed American Idol cameo after turning them down
BBC bosses felt snubbed when the King filmed a cameo for US TV after turning down their interview pleas.
His Majesty allowed cameras to film pop stars Lionel Richie and Katy Perry inside Windsor Castle for segments on ABC talent show American Idol.
The pair, who sang at the Coronation concert, are show judges, and the King popped in for a chat.
A BBC executive said: “The BBC was not given any interaction. Then ABC rolled in.”
But another source said the broadcaster was “fully supportive” of ABC’s chat.
Richie is said to have asked the King for the “last minute” filming.
Producers and Idol stars revealed that they didn’t know it was going to happen until the last minute.
One producer confirmed: “It came together that early evening when they were working on their shoots around the castle.
“One of Charles’ handlers told them he was on board to pop in and say hello with cameras rolling and that was it.
“There were no scripting meetings or laid out plans, but a spontaneous interaction.
“You can tell by the way Katy acted that there was no autocue and how Charles simply played along naturally rather than delivering pre-prepared notes.
“Even their exit was a little awkward, because no-one prepped how they would walk out.”
There’s no shame in turning off motion controls in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
You’re all excited to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and you’ve just sat down with your Switch in hand (or with the machine docked nicely in its hub and the Joy-Con in your hand, philistine) and you get to the first dungeon. ‘Here you go’, you think, licking your lips and leaning forward in your seat. ‘Puzzle me, baby.’
But then – as you get to grips with the unique new Ultrahand mechanic and set to grafting items together and propping up makeshift bridges in the stone temple – you realise with horror Link is moving in tandem with… you. Your shaky hands wobbling as you direct the shirtless twink to pick up stone slabs make the screen jitter, your uncertain physical umming and ahhing as you decide where to plant your creations are reflected in game as the camera vibrates and wobbles, trying to keep up with you.
It’s not great. After some practice, you can make it all a bit smoother – get more confident in your movements, be more assertive in how you move about – but there’s still awkwardness and a bit of shake. Even in the (Ultra)hands of the most experienced Link.
