Jeremy Clarkson slammed for ‘disrespectful column’ on Meghan Markle
According to a royal expert, broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson‘s degrading remarks about Meghan Markle were a “really bad mistake.”
The Duchess of Sussex is being the target of another another outburst from British media, and Richard Palmer is standing by her.
“I can’t quite see how it got in the paper,” Mr. Palmer said to start off his discussion of the Royal Round-Up.
“I think he writes in an over the top style sometimes. And it’s clearly very popular with a section of the public – particularly blokes who watch programmes about cars and some of the other things he’s involved in.
“I could see that there was a reference to Games of Thrones because I watched all of that programme.
“And I can see that the newspaper columnist are paid to be slightly over the top to get a reaction from readers. But I think it was just a really bad mistake.”
Mr. Palmer observed that Jeremy Clarkson “sort of” apologized by saying, “Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.”
Palmer continued: “I strongly disagree with that in general. It is right that The Sun has withdrawn that column.”
