LONDON – British tv presenter Jeremy Clarkson mentioned on Monday he was “horrified to have brought about a lot damage” after a column he wrote within the Solar newspaper about Prince Harry’s spouse Meghan attracted greater than 6,000 complaints.
In a column revealed on Friday, Clarkson, who gained worldwide fame as presenter of motoring present “High Gear”, wrote of Meghan: “I hate her. Not like I hate (Scottish First Minister) Nicola Sturgeon or (serial killer) Rose West. I hate her on a mobile degree.”
“At night time, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my enamel and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade bare by the streets of each city in Britain whereas the crowds chant, ‘Disgrace!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as Harry and Meghan are formally recognized, stepped down from royal duties in March 2020, saying they needed to forge new lives in the US away from media harassment.
In a six-part Netflix documentary sequence which concluded final week, Meghan spoke about her remedy by the media leaving her feeling suicidal.
In an announcement posted on Twitter on Monday, Clarkson mentioned: “Oh expensive. I’ve quite put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a careless reference to a scene in Recreation of Thrones and this has gone down badly with an excellent many individuals.”
“I’m horrified to have brought about a lot damage and I shall be extra cautious in future,” added Clarkson, who is understood for being outspoken and controversial.
Britain’s press requirements regulator, the Unbiased Press Requirements Organisation (IPSO), mentioned it had to this point obtained “over 6,000 complaints concerning the article in query”.
