How Royal Family Documentary Deleted by YouTube 'Started the Rot' of Privacy Invasion On 2/2/21 at 3:47 AM EST A BBC documentary about the royal family taken down from YouTube "started the rot" of royal family privacy invasion, critics at the time claimed. Some felt The Royal Family fly-on-the-wall film from the 1960s "encouraged the discarding of any remaining restraint" from the media in its treatment of Queen Elizabeth II's family. The film observed the royals as they went about their everyday lives but was only ever broadcast twice and after being uploaded to YouTube last week was hastily deleted. The platform said the decision followed a copyright claim, with SkyNews suggesting the complaint originated with the BBC, rather than the royals.
