Republic, the UK's largest pressure group campaigning for the abolition of the monarchy, hit out against the broadcaster's coverage of the young royals.

The Prince and Princess of Wales shared the photo on their official social media account with the caption: "England, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young and old. Congratulations to Spain. W & C".

The Princess of Wales took the photograph on Sunday evening after attending Wimbledon with Charlotte earlier in the day.
Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, can be seen wearing England tops with their names and ages on the back of the shirts in the photo.
The social media post was signed off with W & C to signal it was a personal message from William and Catherine.
The BBC reported on the new picture of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and positioned the story in a prominent place on their website homepage.

However, Republic took issues with the importance given to the story and hit out in a social media post.
The anti-monarchy group wrote: "Jesus, @BBCNews - is this really a front-page, breaking news story? Kids watching football? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy".
Republic also hit out at the Prince of Wales for attending the Euro 2024 final in Germany.
Prince William and his son Prince George travelled to Berlin to support England in their third-ever appearance in a major final.

William is the President of the Football Association and attended three England matches at Euro 2024 including the final.
Sunday's final was the first match at the tournament where William's eldest son Prince George was also present.
Republic wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "William will put down his trip to the Euros Final as a 'work engagement'. Nonsense. Why should he be paid for watching it last night? We weren't."
A royal fan slammed the pressure group following the post, writing: "If he [William] did not attend you would complain he is the future king of the country and did not attend to support the country he will be king of in the future. We know how your type works. He does not win no matter what he does."
