The hate tirade of the 62-year-old is not well received. 12,000 complaints against him have been received by the British Press Council since publication and his daughter, Emily Clarkson (28), also distances herself from her father’s opinion.
In the British newspaper “Sun”, former “Top Gear” presenter and author Jeremy Clarkson (62) makes it clear what he thinks of Duchess Meghan (42) – according to his column, he doesn’t have much left for her. “I hate her,” he writes directly. He also goes into a scene from “Game of Thrones” and hopes that Meghan, like a character in the hit series, will have to complete a “Walk of Shame” through England naked. “I dream of the day when she is forced to march naked through the streets of every city in Britain while the crowd shouts ‘shame’ and throws excrement at her.” In other words: Meghan should be humiliated and thrown with faeces.
Meghan is said to have spoiled Prince Harry
In addition, he complains that Meghan spoiled Prince Harry. He used to be a go-getter, someone to have fun with, and now he’s just stuffy. “Everyone in my generation hates Meghan,” Clarkson said.
Meanwhile, Clarkson’s daughter, influencer Emily Clarkson, has also spoken out. She is shocked and uncomprehending by her father’s hateful lines and distances herself: “My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media. I want to make it very clear that I am against everything my father has written about Meghan Markle and I continue to support all those facing online hate.”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan also reacted to Clarkson’s hate speech and wrote: “The words in his post are not a joke – they are dangerous and inexcusable. We’re in an epidemic of violence against women and girls, and men with powerful voices need to do better than this.” Accordingly, the 52-year-old encourages the author to think.
12,000 complaints to the UK Press Council
On Monday, Clarkson took to Twitter to comment on his very offensive lines against the Duchess of Sussex. «Oh dear. I guess I put my foot in it there. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I awkwardly referenced a scene in Game of Thrones, and that went down badly with a lot of people. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
But the 62-year-old will not have dropped this tweet quite so voluntarily. Since the column was published, the British Press Council has received 12,000 complaints against Clarkson.
