BBC business editor Robert Peston has received a dressing down from his bosses for making remarks on Twitter about William and Kate having sex, reports the Daily Mail.
Peston, one of many celebrities and media figures commenting on the Royal Wedding, told his 31,000 Twitter followers: “The really important thing about this truly magical day is they can have sex at last.”
Executives at the corporation considered the tweet to be “hugely inappropriate,” according to sources, and ordered Peston to remove it.
He also made a series of other comments which might be considered disrespectful.
In one, he said: “Bit worried about the new princess. Plainly didn’t read her BBC health and safety manual. Too much waving. Big RSI risk.”
In another, he asked what the collective noun was for Royal pundits, naming Simon Schama, Andrew Roberts and Andrew Morton.
He tweeted: “The correct answer, as students of constitutional history will know, is “a lickspittle”.”
In a tweet which might be seen as patronizing, he wrote: “My favourite moment in a magical morning was when Sky News told us that Her Majesty knows the name of every one of the horses. Bless her.”
