The BBC has now received the most complaints ever published in the UK about television programming.
Figures from the corporation show its coverage of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh last Friday has drawn 110,000 complaints to date.
The BBC cancelled its planned schedule following the new Prince Philip had died at Windsor Castle, aged 99, on April 9.
High profile shows such as EastEnders and the MasterChef 2021 were axed in favour of special news and tribute programmes on BBC One and BBC Two.
BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 5 Live also aired programmes about the duke.
The BBC later set up a special complaints page after admitting to receiving messages complaining about "too much" coverage.
According to the BBC’s fortnightly complaints bulletin, some 104,010 people complained about the coverage within the first three days.
At time of publication on Thursday, the overall total was 109,741.
The BBC said in a statement: "The passing of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was a significant event which generated a lot of interest both nationally and internationally.
"We acknowledge some viewers were unhappy with the level of coverage given and impact this had on the billed TV and radio schedules.
"We do not make such changes without careful consideration and the decisions made reflect the role the BBC plays as the national broadcaster during moments of national significance.
"We are grateful for all feedback and we always listen to the response from our audiences."
The BBC also received complaints from viewers about the inclusion of the Duke of York in its coverage despite his association with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The BBC said: "All of Prince Philip’s children gave a tribute to their father following his passing, which we have covered in our news programming.
"We have fully reported on the allegations against Prince Andrew and we have also made it clear that he has not been charged with any crime. We consider we have appropriately covered his comments."
This now tops the previous record number of complaints which followed the airing of Jerry Springer The Opera, with 63,000 being sent to the broadcaster.
In March, Piers Morgan’s comments on Good Morning Britain about the Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey drew a record number of complaints for TV regulator Ofcom.
Across two programmes of the ITV news programme, more than 57,000 complaints were made to the broadcasting watchdog.
