It looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not accepting this apology, no matter how hard and how many times he tries to say that he’s sorry. Apparently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are rejecting Jeremy Clarkson’s new public apology, in which he say that he is profusely sorry for what he has written about Meghan Markle. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince Harry branded the article about his wife “horrific, hurtful and cruel” during an interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby to discuss his autobiography Spare, adding that what Clarkson had written would encourage people around the world to believe it is an acceptable way to treat women.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle REJECT Jeremy Clarkson’s Public Apology
In his apology, Clarkson says, “One of the strange things I’ve noticed in recent times is that whenever an MP or a well-known person is asked to apologise for something, no matter how heartfelt or profound that apology may be, it’s never enough for the people who called for it in the first place. So I’m going to try and buck the trend this morning with an apology for the things I said in a Sun column recently about Meghan Markle.
I really am sorry. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head. This is me putting my hands up. It’s a mea culpa with bells on. Usually, I read what I’ve written to someone else before filing, but I was home alone on that fateful day, and in a hurry. So when I’d finished, I just pressed send. And then, when the column appeared the next day, the land mine exploded.”
He continued, “”I was mortified and so was everyone else. My phone went mad. Very close friends were furious. Even my own daughter took to Instagram to denounce me.” Unfortunately for Clarkson, Harry and Meghan are not buying it.
“While a new public apology has been issued today by Mr. Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his long standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories, and misogyny,” it continued. “Unless each of his other pieces were also written “in a hurry,” as he states, it is clear that this is not an isolated incident shared in haste, but rather a series of articles shared in hate.”
Clarkson’s column has become the UK’s most complained-about article, according to regulator the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso). In the piece, Clarkson wrote that he had dreamed of Meghan Markle being paraded through British towns and publicly shamed, adding that “everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.”
He wrote, “We all know in our heart of hearts that Harold Markle is a slightly dim but fun-loving chin who flew Apache helicopter gunships in Afghanistan and cavorted around Las Vegas hotel rooms with naked hookers. But then along came Meghan, who obviously used some vivid bedroom promises to turn him into a warrior of woke.”
He then goes on to say, “At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her. Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.”
