“Everyone knows where they were and what they were doing the night my mother died,” he said. The Duke of Sussex, who was aged just 12 when his mother died, said he only cried once after his mother’s death – at her burial. 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. “There were 50,000 bouquets of flowers to our mother and there we were shaking people’s hands, smiling.” But the silence is deafening, to put it mildly." I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future."

Clarkson wrote that he 'hated' the Duchess of Sussex and dreamed of her being paraded through British towns and publicly shamed.

So I feel as though there is a responsibility to see this through because I think the benefits to a lot of people will be felt.

The former Top Gear sparked widespread backlash after going into detail about his hatred for the Duchess of Sussex.

"All the terrible things that are happening in the world and people are going to be so hard up this Christmas and they’re still worrying about writing something awful about Meghan. To take time out of your day to write what Clarkson wrote within days of her telling the world how appalling the impact is so many shades of cruel. Last month, Caroline's mum Christine criticised Clarkson for his comments about Meghan in the lead up to Christmas, claiming that people hadn't learnt from her daughter's death nearly three years ago. You know I talk about Caroline Flack in the book as well." Clarkson acknowledged the controversy in a tweet last month, saying he was "horrified" to have caused "so much hurt". And if living in a new country, minding our own business during lockdown, not saying anything, not doing anything that would affect the British media at all, that every single day there’s an attack, well then, the assumption of it going away or moving on isn’t the case.

The Duke branded the comments made by Clarkson as 'cruel', claiming that the since-removed column encourages people around the world to believe it is an acceptable way to treat women.

Prince Harry has commented on Jeremy Clarkson's “hurtful and cruel” newspaper column about wife Meghan Markle, during his interview with ITV's Tom Bradby.

He expressed his desire to “try and change the press” and said the royal family’s “silence” over harmful coverage of his family is “deafening”. His response to the op-ed was part of a larger discussion with Bradby about the British media, calling it the “epicentre of so many of the problems across the UK”. After the release of Harry and Meghan’s six-part Netflix docuseries in December last year, Clarkson, wrote that he loathes the Duchess of Sussex “on a cellular level” and wants people to “throw lumps of excrement” at her, in an op-ed for The Sun.

In the ITV interview, Harry commented on the column written about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson, and noted its potential impact.

This is [a series that aims to challenge](https://www.stylist.co.uk/series/a-fearless-future-violence-against-women-girls) the attitudes that underpin, encourage and tolerate male violence against women and girls in our society; attitudes that were exemplified in the Clarkson column. “It’s no longer a case of me asking for accountability, but at this point, the world is asking for accountability,” he said. A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said the statement was a “PR stunt” and that The Sun hadn’t reached out to Meghan. A Fearless Future is about understanding that laws can only go so far in protecting women – we need a full overhaul of our misogynistic culture. The hate Meghan receives isn’t just an attempt to intimidate her, but to make us all afraid. The Clarkson column was an attack on Meghan Markle, but also yet another shot fired in the onslaught against all women. This is the normalisation of fantasising about violence against women in action. After more than 20,000 complaints, The Sun removed Clarkson’s article and issued an apology, stating: “In last Saturday’s Sun, Jeremy Clarkson wrote a comment article about the Duchess of Sussex. But was that apology taking true accountability for the impact of these words? A woman is killed. The article has been removed from our website and archives.” A woman is killed by a member of the police.

The interview also referenced Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz and late TV presenter Caroline Flack.

Broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson has announced the closure of his Diddly Squat Restaurant after falling foul of the local council.

Clarkson is said to have dropped his bid to keep his farm restaurant open despite protests from locals and an enforcement notice from council officials.

That has to be addressed, and soon.’ He added: ‘It’s nearly impossible to make money from farming these days and in recent years farmers have relied on government grants to keep going. Clarkson opened the restaurant last July despite protests from local residents, but it was initially closed following an enforcement order from council officials.

Jeremy Clarkson has said he no longer wishes to open a restaurant on the grounds of his Oxfordshire farm Diddly Squat.

The 40-cover Diddly Squat farm restaurant was housed within a small barn in the middle of a barley field, with the majority of its tables outside. “As a result of this, I've had to sell most of the cows I bought. So I decided that to make a profit, the beef should be cooked and served in a restaurant, which I'd create by converting our lambing barn.
