After allegedly receiving a record number of complaints regarding how it handled the news of Prince Philip’s death, the BBC is standing by its coverage.

As The Guardian reported on Monday, the BBC’s coverage of the royal’s death received the most complaints in the history of British television, mostly due to the public expressing irritation that certain shows were taken off the air and replaced with memorials to the late royal. The BBC has not confirmed the number of complaints.
