BBC Breakfast viewers spotted one of the show’s presenters break royal protocol on Wednesday as they decided not to wear a black suit and tie. Black uniform has been required as the outfit among TV hosts across the UK following the Queen’s death, as the country has entered a national period of mourning for 10 days. Correspondent Tim Muffett opted out of that rule as he appeared wearing a grey blazer and blue tie, while interviewing mourning fans of the Queen on BBC Breakfast.
The presenter’s rebellious outfit choice was highlighted to viewers as it stood in striking contrast to correspondents Sally Nugent and John Kay, and the rest of the BBC Breakfast hosts, who all wore black during the course of Wednesday’s show. Fans took to Twitter as they gave the reactions on the royal protocol break, as one wrote: “@BBCBreakfast please could you tell me why Tim Moffat isn't wearing a dark tie?" A second tweeted: "Tim [Muffet] obviously forgot his black tie today”. Other viewers pointed out this wasn’t the first time Tim Muffat had gone against wearing black during the National mourning period.
One observant person tweeted: “Throughout this sad time he's not worn black. I've often wondered quite why." Another asked: "He's consistently not worn black. Why is this?" It is expected that news presenters wear black attire following the death of a royal, along with the Royal Family during the mourning period in the case of such an event.
