The actress, who played Elizabeth II in BAFTA Award-winning movie The Queen last year, was shocked by the misleading trailer for documentary A Year With The Queen, which appeared to show the monarch storming out of a photo-shoot.
Speaking to Sir David Frost on Al Jazeera English TV news, Mirren said that the corporation was "idiotic", adding: "The BBC should have known better. I think it was a disgrace."
The BBC apologised for its mistake yesterday.
