Viewers ask why Jeremy Clarkson’s article was not discussed on the BBC show

The former Top Gear presenter has been heavily criticized for a “disgusting” opinion piece about the Duchess of Sussex.

Clarkson wrote in The Sun that he’s lying in bed, “gnashing his teeth and dreaming about the day when she [Markle] is made to parade naked through the streets of every city in Britain while the crowd chants “Shame!” and throw clods of feces at them”.

It follows that Release of a Netflix series where the couple described their relationship with the royal family.

The Sun’s editor, Victoria Newton, appeared on the BBC on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, where she was asked about a series of front pages reporting that Prince Harry and Markle demand an “apology” for the way they are being treated were treated.

However, Kuenssberg did not ask any of the panellists about Clarkson’s play, which was described on social media as “vicious” and “misogynistic.”

One user said: “Won’t Laura Kuenssberg ask about the violently misogynistic attack on Meghan Markle?”

When they released the Sunday show’s guest list, many urged the broadcaster to “please ask” about the article, while another said the article was an “extremely malicious and hateful” article.

When asked about reports of a “conspiracy” against the couple by Buckingham Palace and the media, Newton said it was unfounded.

“We had a lot of dealings with the press officers for Harry and Meghan back then, and I particularly remember some of my dealings with them when they were still in the family,” she said.

Newton added: “Never have I been given a negative story about other members of the royal family, to take care of William and Kate for example.

“Often we’ve received officially more positive stories about Harry and Meghan from royal history.”

She continued, “The idea that we’ve always preferred William and Kate or the other royals over them is just not true.”
