Journalistic principles or self-importance by Auntie Beeb?

Can someone enlighten me as to why the Royal British Legion enjoys an advantage over other charities.
Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I am in full support of the poppy appeal. The situation just seems bizarre.

BBC said:Graham Norton and his production company So Television have been reprimanded by the BBC after he wore a World Aids Day ribbon on air.
The presenter and his guests all sported the charity emblem for his BBC One chat show broadcast on 29 November.
BBC entertainment controller Mark Linsey said although it was a cause Norton "cares passionately about", he was "in breach of BBC guidelines".
Wearing poppies in support of the Royal British Legion is the one exception.
