Nyheter24 has previously reported on the Netflix documentary that was released here a week ago Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The documentary highlights, among other things, the hate storm Meghan Markle has had to endure in the media. Something that for her has become everyday food.
The Sun apologizes after the criticism
British newspaper The Sun apologizes after Top Gear profile Jeremy Clarksons column about Meghan Markle. It reports Sky News.
“Shame!” and throws feces at her”
In the column, which was published on Sunday, Jeremy Clarkson wrote, among other things, that he “dreams of the day when she is forced to parade naked in the streets of every city across the UK while crowds chant ‘Shame!’ and throw faeces at her”.
Received over 20,800 complaints
The Sun now says it regrets the publication and, at the request of Jeremy Clarkson himself, has deleted it from its site. This after the UK’s independent press watchdog received over 20,800 complaints up until Tuesday afternoon alone.
“Clumsy reference to a scene from Game of Thrones”
In a post on Twitter earlier this week, Jeremy Clarkson said he had made a “clumsy reference to a scene from Game of Thrones”, which had “hurt a lot of people” and that he was “horrified to have caused so much damage”.
The uproar over Jeremy Clarkson has prompted the Prime Minister himself, Rishi Sunak, to come out and remind public figures that “one’s choice of words matters”. Another who expressed criticism of Jeremy Clarkson’s is his own daughter, Emily Clarkson, 28. In an Instagram story, she writes that she firmly distances herself from everything her father wrote.

It’s not the first time TV personality Jeremy Clarkson has come under fire for his sharp pen. In a column in 2020, he called Greta Thunberg “a spoiled brat who should instead be a nice girl and shut up”.
