The BBC's decision to shelve a documentary about the Royal Family days before it was due to be broadcast is 'sinister censorship', critics said today.

Reinventing The Royals is said to be critical of Prince Charles' attempt to rebuild his reputation and increase public sympathy for Camilla Parker Bowles after the death of Princess Diana.

MPs said today the Royals are guilty of 'gross interference' after lawyers known to represent Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are said to have complained about the shows.

Critics have also said that the BBC has questions to answer after failing to 'stand firm' under pressure over the documentary.
