Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Reps Respond To Jeremy Clarkson’s Apology
British media personality Jeremy Clarkson made some strange remarks about the Duchess of Sussex which weren’t received well. The Sun issued an apology and removed his column.
A spokesperson of the couple issued a statement to the BBC over this apology. “The fact that the Sun has not contacted The Duchess of Sussex to apologize shows their intent,” the statement said. “This is nothing more than a PR stunt.”
They said that a response was needed for “the public,” but a “shift” in how the British outlet covers Harry and Meghan would be a “true apology.”
“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 of and exploit hate, violence and misogyny,” the statement added.
