The British Broadcasting Corporation has postponed plans to air a controversial documentary about Prince Charles' life and alleged bid to repair his public image following the death of ex-wife Princess Diana.

The program, Reinventing the Royals, was made without the cooperation of the royal family and was set to air on BBC 2 on Jan. 4. The BBC, a public station that British residents fund via a TV license fee, said in a statement that the documentary would be postponed indefinitely "while a number of issues, including the use of archive footage, are resolved," The New York Times reported.

The U.K. newspaper The Radio Times reported that the BBC made the decision to postpone Reinventing the Royals after "an intervention from lawyers known to represent senior members of the royal family, including the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall." The station has not commented.
