“I am horrified that I have caused so much damage and I will be more careful in the future.” Clarkson wrote.
Later, the presenter said that he contacted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and apologized to them.
However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stated that the host’s email was only addressed to the Duke of Sussex and that “Need to deal with” “a long-standing practice of writing articles that spread hate speech, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny.”_
The Duke of Sussex called out an article about his wife “terrible, offensive and cruel” during an interview on ITV, adding that what Clarkson had allegedly written could “to encourage people around the world to believe that this is an acceptable way to treat women.”
The Fawcett Society is the UK’s oldest charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights. The organization dates back to 1866.
