BBC One controller Peter Fincham has resigned after an investigation into footage that misrepresented the Queen.
A documentary trailer was edited out of sequence, and Mr Fincham wrongly told the press it showed the monarch walking out of a photo session "in a huff".
A report into the incident has blamed "misjudgements, poor practice and ineffective systems".
The programme was made by production company RDF Media, whose chief creative officer Stephen Lambert has also quit.
Mr Fincham said he resigned because: "From the outset it was clear as controller of the channel I took responsibility for what had happened.
"I thought that was the right thing to do, the honourable thing to do."
He insisted the BBC had "acted in good faith" and admitted leaving after only two-and-a-half years was "probably shorter than I would have liked".
He added: "Blame is spread in many different directions. Errors were made at different levels by different people at different times."
Former BBC executive Will Wyatt wrote the report into A Year with the Queen. He said he did not think "anyone consciously set out to defame or misrepresent the Queen in the tape".
