While planned series of Clarkson's Farm and The Grand Tour are still set to go ahead this year, Amazon Prime Video could cut ties with the TV presenter ...
"I therefore wrote to everyone who works with me saying how sorry I was and then, on Christmas morning, I emailed Harry and Meghan in California to apologise to them too. "Usually, I read what I've written to someone else before filing, but I was home alone on that fateful day, and in a hurry. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head. And yet I seemed to be advocating just that. So I picked up a copy of The Sun to see what all the fuss was about. "I was mortified and so was everyone else. Even my own daughter took to Instagram to denounce me." I'm just not sexist, and I abhor violence against women. I'd been thinking of a scene in Games Of Thrones, but I'd forgotten to mention this. "I knew what had happened straight away. I hate her on a cellular level." It comes after Meghan and Harry released a statement once again rejecting a Clarkson apology.
Reports suggest that the ex-'Top Gear' presenter's lucrative Amazon deal may be coming to an end after his apalling comments about Meghan Markle.
When he first launched The Grand Tour with Amazon, with Top Gear lackeys James May and Richard Hammond in tow, there was a bit of bluster about it – the sort of “better off without her” posturing that sometimes accompanies a breakup. If the reports of Amazon dropping Clarkson are true (they have declined to comment so far), it is more than possible that ITV would follow. It was Clarkson’s physical assault of a producer that was the final straw, but his time on TopGear was peppered with problematic incidents. For many people, Clarkson’s charm lies in his perceived groundedness, his seeming like “some bloke down the pub” who just happens to know a lot about cars. “Go pick up some potatoes and say hello,” the parents would say. And for a while, it worked: The Grand Tour was, by most measures, a success. [letter of contrition](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/jeremy-clarkson-apology-meghan-harry-b2263078.html), describing his remarks as “disgraceful” and stating that he was “profoundly sorry”. But you don’t need to do that to yourself: Clarkson has been loudly announcing who he is, on camera, for years. Later that day it was reported by Variety that Amazon was [looking to “cut ties” with Clarkson](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/jeremy-clarkson-amazon-contract-meghan-b2263470.html), and would not be renewing either of the projects he fronts. The former Top Gear presenter was shockingly, almost inexplicably vitriolic in his words, writing that he hated the Duchess of Sussex “on a cellular level” and dreamed of her being “made to parade naked through the streets” while crowds pelted her with excrement. This was a man who joked about the murder of sex workers, who made homophobic and racist remarks on multiple occasions – including an incident when he allegedly mumbled the “N-word” on camera while reciting a children’s rhyme. But no one had a right to be surprised.

“So I picked up a copy of The Sun to see what all the fuss was about. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head.

London - Jeremy Clarkson said he had emailed an apology to Prince Harry and Meghan after he wrote in a national newspaper column that he hoped the Duchess of Sussex would one day be forced to parade naked through the streets.
If reports are to be believed, Jeremy Clarkson is about to come unstuck for his infamous Sun on Sunday column about Meghan.
He wasn’t being serious then and he wasn’t being serious in that column before Christmas. Ultimately, I don’t think Jeremy Clarkson had much to apologise for, beyond being Jeremy Clarkson and making the sort of outrageous, not particularly funny joke Jeremy Clarkson tends to make. He talks about how the accusation of ‘misogyny’ stings. The other depressing thing about Clarkson’s apology is that he really seems to mean it – and yet we all know it won’t make the blindest bit of difference. Clarkson published an extended apology on Instagram yesterday, noting that Amazon and ITV (where he presents Who Wants to Be a Millionaire) were both ‘incandescent’ over the now-deleted column. It was outrageous and close to the bone even by the former Top Gear star’s standards. Of all the people to bear the brunt of Marklemania, Clarkson was perhaps the easiest target. Whether or not you found the joke funny is irrelevant. Reading the Sussexes’ statement about the scandal yesterday (they accused Clarkson of a ‘pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny’), you’d have thought the column was deadly serious. But here’s the thing about that column: he was joking. It seems that no one is too big to be sacked for criticising her. Markle – or rather the hysteria surrounding her – has ripped through the British media, getting Piers Morgan booted from Good Morning Britain, claiming a scalp at the Society of Editors, and now, if reports are to be believed, Jeremy Clarkson is about to come unstuck for his infamous Sun on Sunday column about Meghan.

However, Amazon is preparing to end its partnership with Clarkson, according to Variety, meaning the third season of Clarkson’s Farm will be its last. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head. The Grand Tour, which restructured its format in 2019, has four specials to run, the last of which will land in 2024, according to the US trade.
The former MP criticised Clarkson's long-awaited apology.
Jeremy Clarkson 'Who Wants To be a Millionaire?' role is being weighed up by ITV following the Meghan Markle, Prince Harry column.
following the furor over his column about [Meghan Markle](https://deadline.com/tag/meghan-markle/). Season 2 of Clarkson’s Farm drops next month, while a third is currently being filmed. Sources said it was not unusual for Amazon to refuse to commit to renewals ahead of new episodes streaming. Lygo said his attack on Markle was “awful” and stressed it “did not represent our values.” ITV will need to decide whether to renew Clarkson’s contract after he has spent five years hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire?. Deadline understands the Clarkson’s Farm host has just one series left to run on his contract and no further commitments with ITV at present.
Jeremy Clarkson, a columnist for 'The Sun,' faced backlash for his racist, misogynistic column about Meghan Markle, in which he wrote, “I hate her on a ...
[published an apology](https://www.thesun.co.uk/clarifications/20850273/jeremy-clarkson-the-sun/) on December 23, writing, “We at The Sun regret the publication of this article and we are sincerely sorry,” though critics continued to call for Clarkson to be fired. The palace has not yet issued a comment about the docuseries nor Clarkson’s article, though [Yahoo News UK](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/royal-family-refuses-to-condemn-jeremy-clarkson-over-hateful-meghan-markle-column-130841844.html) reported that some at the palace were frustrated by the media coverage of Camilla’s potential ties to the columnist. [Instagram Story](https://twitter.com/carolvorders/status/1604500800826638337) that she does not support or agree with what her father wrote: “I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those that are targeted with online hatred.” In a separate post, she wrote that she believes the media’s treatment of Meghan has been unfair. Meghan and Harry responded through a spokesperson and effectively declined Clarkson’s apology. “I really am sorry,” the statement says. In response, some criticized The Sun for allowing the column to be published in the first place and called for Clarkson to be fired. It has been replaced with a screenshot of his tweet. [reported to be false](https://www.newsweek.com/queen-camilla-lunch-meghan-markle-critic-jeremy-clarkson-explained-1768050). Love her or hate her (or like me feel a large amount of ambivalence towards someone who I don’t know and who’s actions barely affect me), the rhetoric around her ought to scare you.” [Per Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/queen-camilla-lunch-meghan-markle-critic-jeremy-clarkson-explained-1768050), Camilla was photographed attending a private lunch party at the Murano restaurant in London on December 14 — the day before the final episodes of the docuseries were released and two days before Clarkson’s column was published. But apparently, comparing Meghan to a serial killer was not enough; Clarkson went on to share a truly deranged fantasy about harming her. While the usual suspects, like Piers Morgan and Angela Levin, shared their regular hateful thoughts about Meghan, Jeremy Clarkson took the cake for most inappropriate, cruel, and unnecessary commentary.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex say Clarkson's apology doesn't tell the full story.
"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." Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his long standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories, and misogyny," the spokesperson said. In it, Clarkson vented about his "hate" for Markle "on a cellular level."
Statement called out the TV presenter for allegedly emailing Harry, not Meghan, with his apology in December.
But Morgan – the most vocal critic of the royal couple – has defended Clarkson's apology but not his original column which appeared in The Sun on 16 December.
The streamer will cut ties with the TV presenter once already-commissioned shows have been completed. clarksons-farm-jeremy-clarkson Image via Prime Video.
Clarkson, a controversial figure in the United Kingdom, had previously been mired in various scandals throughout his lengthy broadcasting career, which reached its nadir in 2015 when Clarkson's contract with the BBC — for whom he had worked for over two decades — was not renewed in the wake of news that he had punched one of the show's producers. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head. “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.”
Jeremy Clarkson cannot escape trouble it seems and he has talked his way into another problem as it has emerged that Amazon will not be renewing his show.
Harry and Meghan were in no mood to accept his mealy-mouthed apology. "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.

This week, Variety reported that Amazon may cancel future seasons of Jeremy Clarkson's shows over his controversial comments about Meghan Markle.
"The contents of his correspondence were marked Private and Confidential," the spokesperson said. "The fact that the Sun has not contacted the Duchess of Sussex to apologize shows their intent. "While the public absolutely deserves the publication's regrets for their dangerous comments, we wouldn't be in this situation if the Sun did not continue to profit off and exploit hate, violence, and misogyny." [The Guardian reported](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/dec/23/the-sun-apologises-for-jeremy-clarksons-column-on-meghan) that more than 60 cross-party MPs wrote to the newspaper's editor, Victoria Newton, demanding an apology and "action taken" against Clarkson over the column.
