The BBC was forced to make an embarrassing apology to both the Royal Family and the photographer Annie Leibovitz today, after a promotional trailer wrongly showed that the Queen had stormed out of a photoshoot during a fly-on-the-wall documentary.

The corporation admitted that a trailer shown yesterday, designed to publicise the forthcoming BBC One documentary series A Year With The Queen, gave the misleading impression that the monarch had abruptly halted the shoot when Ms Leibovitz asked her to remove her crown.

Scenes of the pair clashing over the request were followed in the trailer by footage of the Queen walking down a corridor, and telling her lady-in-waiting: "I[base ']m not changing anything. I[base ']ve had enough dressing like this, thank you very much."
