Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have responded to Jeremy Clarkson’s apology for his “disgraceful” column in The Sun newspaper, claiming he was left feeling “sick” after the backlash.

The former Top Gear host claimed to have sent the couple an apology email on Christmas Day, and claimed to be “terribly sorry” for the language in his column, adding: “I’m really sorry. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles of my head. This is me raising my hand. It’s Simple guilt with bells.”

However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex insisted Clarkson wrote “just for Prince Harry” and dismissed the presenter’s claims that he wrote the column “in a hurry”, accusing him of “a long pattern of writing articles that spread hate speech, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny”.

In the article, the former Top Gear presenter said he despised the Duchess on a “cellular level”, adding that he had dreamed of the day she would be forced to parade naked across Britain while a crowd chanted “shame” and threw “poo” at her.

In case you missed it, last week, Prince Harry suggested that the royal family thank him for his diary “in five or ten years.”

In an interview with The Telegraph published on January 13, journalist Bryony Gordon wrote that Harry “accepts that any chance of reconciliation” with his family is “unlikely at this time”.

He said: “What I realized is that you don’t make any friends, especially within your family, because everyone has learned to accept that trauma [as] part of life. How dare you, as an individual, talk about it, because this makes all of us feel really uncomfortable? Well, you may not like me right now, but maybe you’ll thank me in five or 10 years. “

Lady Gabriella married financier Thomas Kingston in 2019. The intimate ceremony at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle was attended by many senior members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry.

Sussex has responded to Jeremy Clarkson’s apology over the Sun column

The Sussexes have issued a response to Jeremy Clarkson’s apology statement for his column in The Sun about Meghan Markle.

Appearing to contest a number of the former Top Gear host’s claims, the statement — which was reported by Yahoo’s Omid Scobie — says: “On December 25, 2022, Mr Clarkson wrote only to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. The contents of his correspondence have been marked private and confidential.”

While Mr. Clarkson issued a new public apology today, what remains to be addressed is his longstanding pattern of writing articles spreading hate speech, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny.

“Unless each of his other pieces were also written ‘hastily’,” he says, “it is clear that this is not an isolated incident shared in haste, but rather a series of essays shared out of hate.”

1673895242 The royal family must move to reconcile with Harry and Meghan before the coronation

Buckingham Palace insiders have warned that the royal family “must move” to reconcile with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle before King Charles’ coronation, my colleague Jo Middleton reports.

A royal source close to King Charles told The Times they believe a meeting between warring royals could happen in the next few months, saying: “It will require flexibility on all sides, but it can be done, it is fixable.

“He needs Harry here, in the room with the King and Prince of Wales, a couple of other family members, some family members he always trusts, so he doesn’t think he’s being ambushed.

Someone like an elf [Ed Lane Fox, Harry’s former private secretary] and Christopher [Lord Geidt, the late Queen’s former private secretary who advised the Sussexes]. Both sides need to put their hands up and acknowledge that we didn’t get everything right, we got a lot wrong, and we need to say “we understand the pain you’ve been through.” The King can do that.”
