British TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has issued a second apology for comments he made in a column published in The Sun newspaper last month. In the article, which has since been removed from The Sun’s website, Clarkson said he lies awake at night “grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when [Meghan Markle] is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant ‘Shame!'”
The column was widely condemned as sexist and misogynistic, and Clarkson’s apology comes after he received more than 20,000 complaints to the U.K.’s media watchdog.
In a new Instagram post on Monday, Clarkson said he emailed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to say that he was “profoundly sorry” for the column. He added that his apology was “all the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head.”
The apology comes after the release of the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” which has sparked a renewed interest in the couple’s relationship with the British media.
Clarkson is one of the most vocal critics of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and his apology is being seen as a sign of the couple’s growing influence. It remains to be seen whether the apology will be accepted by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
