“I hate Meghan”
Moderator Jeremy Clarkson’s contribution was removed from both the website and the archive. The paper belongs to the News Corporation publishing house of the US entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch. The December 17 text was in response to the Netflix series Harry and Meghan, in which the couple explained their reasons for stepping down from British royalty. Clarkson had emphasized: “I hate Meghan.”
He also fantasized regarding wanting Prince Harry’s 41-year-old wife to be paraded naked through British cities and pelted with excrement by a crowd. The post sparked a storm of indignation. Dozens of MPs, as well as Clarkson’s daughter Emily, criticized the text. The media regulator received a record number of complaints. The 62-year-old then shared that he made an “awkward” reference to the series “Game of Thrones”. He announced that he would be more careful in the future.
