I see that the racist and classist attitudes have carried over with certain posters.
Some of the examples posted here have such minor issues - ones that all announcers will make - that it's not worthy of comment. Even with the examples that may not have the tone one would expect, the announcement is clearly made.
Ultimately, all of this will be good experience for the newer announcers. The BBC clearly hired them not only for having an accent that isn't just another variant of RP, but also because they'll clearly have the capacity to grow and improve.
Also, were the continuity announcements made around the time of previous royal deaths perfect? I certainly don't think so.
