The Sun published a column by Jeremy Clarkson on Friday in which the former Top Gear and The Grand Tour host wrote he "hate[s]" Meghan Markle "on a cellular level".
"At night, I'm unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming 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," he continued, referencing a Game of Thrones scene.
"Everyone who's my age thinks the same way," he claimed.
Media personality Carol Vorderman tweeted an extract from the column saying: "Not on any level, in any circumstance, is it ok to write this stuff about any woman & absolutely NO to 'everyone who's my age thinks the same' No no no."
Clarkson's column and its backlash come fresh off the release of Part II of Harry & Meghan, the couple's tell-all Netflix docuseries in which they criticise the British press for the way they villainised Meghan in particular.
