on March 9\u2014its first absence since 1989\u2014instead airing Escape to the Country.<\/p>\n<p>Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince William and Catherine will be in attendance during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>When <i>GB News<\/i> asked the BBC about its decision to air this event, but not the Commonwealth Day Service, a spokeswoman exclusively said, \u201cThe Installation of an Archbishop of Canterbury, the most senior bishop in the Church of England, is an historic event and we are pleased to be able to broadcast the ceremony to audiences across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They added, \u201cOur decision not to broadcast the Commonwealth Day Ceremony in the same way we\u2019ve done in previous years reflects the difficult choices we have to make in light of our funding challenges.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe event was covered by BBC News.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The BBC has previously prioritised similar events, having aired Justin Welby\u2019s installation as the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, Sir Keir Starmer, and the Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch, will also be
