Jeremy Clarkson emails apology to Meghan and Harry.
Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson says he emailed Prince Harry and Meghan on Christmas Day to apologise for his column about the Duchess of Sussex.
In a piece for The Sun, the 62-year-old wrote that he hated Meghan "on a cellular level" and "dreams 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".
Harry later addressed the comments in an ITV interview, saying, "What [Clarkson] said was horrific and is hurtful and cruel towards my wife, but it also encourages other people around the UK and around the world, men particularly, to go and think that it's acceptable to treat women that way."
Clarkson, who responded to the backlash he received in a Tweet last month, shared a lengthy post on Instagram earlier today, explaining he emailed the couple on Christmas Day to tell them he was "profoundly sorry".
"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," he wrote.
"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."
Clarkson went on to say he usually reads his column to someone else before filing "but I was home alone on that fateful day, and in a hurry" so pressed send.
"When the column appeared the next day, the land mine exploded."
"We’ve all been there, I guess. In that precise moment when we suddenly realise we’ve completely messed up."
In response, Harry and Meghan have released their own statement, calling Clarkson out on his "longstanding" tendency to spread "hate rhetoric" and claiming he "solely" wrote to Harry on Christmas Day.
"While a new public apology has been issued today by Mr Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his longstanding pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny," a spokesman for the Sussexes said in a statement, according to the Mirror.
"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."

Ash Barty, Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams: Who really has it all?
Last year, in a move that shocked the tennis world, Ash Barty retired from tennis while she was the number one seed. Fans everywhere were confused when the 25-year-old announced she'd be stepping away from the sport - just months after winning her third grand slam.
Fast forward to January 2023, Ash and her husband have announced they are expecting a baby leading to speculation that this must be the reason for her retirement. Because of course, no woman can have that level of commitment to her job and a family. No woman can 'have it all'. But what does that even mean?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what it means to have it all in 2023.
