Some quick Internet research suggests that the royal family granted conditional access to the media to events like the funeral in exchange for having control over how the footage was used in the future:
Yeah, it’s nothing to lose his head over.

They already did that to a King Chuckles. I have faith the British people can find something more original for this one.
