Joke in
Australian version at expense of Queen’s scandal-hit son deemed not suitable for
British audiences
The
BBC is embroiled in a bizarre row about censorship, the
Royal Family and drag queens after editing an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race to remove a joke about Prince Andrew.
The national broadcaster is currently showing episodes of the new series RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under on its iPlayer streaming service but edited out a comment made by a drag artist dressed as
Queen Elizabeth II, apparently in the belief it could offend
UK audiences.
