Prince Harry shows Stephen Colbert the necklace William broke
Jeremy Clarkson failed to address his “long-standing pattern” of writing articles that spread “hate rhetoric” when apologising to Meghan for his Sun column, the Sussexes have claimed.
The TV presenter on Monday evening apologised to Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, over a “disgraceful” piece he wrote about the latter in December last year.
But the couple said Mr Clarkson “wrote solely” to Prince Harry, who was not the subject of his piece. They also rejected his claims to have written the column “in a hurry”.
In the article, the former Top Gear host said he despised the duchess on a “cellular level”, adding that he dreamt of the day she would be made to parade naked through Britain while a crowd chanted “shame” and threw “excrement” at her.
Mr Clarkson, in his apology, said: “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.”
What exactly did the Sussexes say in response to Clarkson’s apology?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have issued a response to Jeremy Clarkson’s apology over his highly criticised remarks about Meghan Markle.
The statement made by the couple reported by Omid Scobie of Yahoo, states: “On December 25, 2022, Mr Clarkson wrote solely to Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. The contents of his correspondence were marked Private and Confidential.”

Prince William: I do a good steak
The Prince of Wales revealed his love of steaks when he joined a cooking class for young carers – but confessed his sauces need more work.
William met the young people supported by Together As One, a charity formed 25 years ago to help tackle gang violence in Slough, and now providing a wealth of services from sports activities to a Global Grub workshop.
“I do a mean steak. My sauces come out quite dry or lumpy – I’ve got to work on those.”

Iran says Prince Harry killing 25 Taliban means UK in ‘no position to preach about human rights’
The Iranian regime has sought to use Prince Harry’s remarks on killing Taliban fighters to undermine the UK government’s outrage over Tehran’s “barbaric” execution of Alireza Akbarim, my colleague Andy Gregory reports.
Britain moved to sanction Iran’s prosecutor-general Mohammad Jafar Montazeri last week after the British-Iranian was hanged over allegations of spying by Ayatollah Khamenei’s regime.
Foreign secretary James Cleverly said the government was “holding the regime to account for its appalling human rights violation”, which prime minister Rishi Sunak condemned as a “callous and cowardly” killing by a “barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own people”.
