Daughter says Royal Mail ad used late father's voice

Lucy Wynne told Deadline she heard her late father Paul Vaughan in Royal Mail’s 2025 Christmas ad on ITV. Vaughan, the voice of BBC’s Horizon and the Paddington audiobooks, died 11 years earlier, Deadline reported. Wynne feared his voice was recreated without permission. Royal Mail told Deadline its AI slogan voice was 'not designed to replicate any specific individual'.
