Jeremy Clarkson article about Meghan

I know this isn't The Royal Family board. I'm not analysing Meghan as I don't know her and she will have no affect on my life. I have become interested in the press and public reaction to her as it feels misogynistic which obviously does affect me.

This is from Jeremy Clarkson today. I feel like is the dark she's and we're hunting witches again.

Meghan, though, is a different story. I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her 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. Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.”

It wasn’t Camilla’s lunch or function! This has been pointed out several times on this thread.
It was a lunch thrown by Fortnum and Mason, she was just an attendee- along with Clarkson and Morgan.

She seemed rather delighted to dance with journalists from The Sun newspaper though.

I just came here to see if there was a thread on this.
Absolutely fucking disgusting,vile thing to say
I've been watching the Netflix series, I'm neutral towards Harry and Meghan, have no strong feelings eiither way and think the hate you see online and in the media is off the scale, it's horrendous. Like the media is just proving their point for them by now.

Complained.

I followed the advice upthread from previous posters.

This was disgraceful gloating from a leering, pompous boor who is getting off about humiliating a naked woman. He’s perverted 🤷🏻‍♀️

And well done to his daughter.

He has done more for M and H cause than any Netflix series could have.

People FINALLY see what happens when people allow apparently small acts of misogyny and racism to be silently condoned. Vile people get viler and "braver" and this is the result.

👏👏👏

ScrollingLeaves · 18/12/2022 18:28

That is absolutely horrible. How can he think it is ok to publicly say that about any woman.

It’s a vile article. I wonder what his daughter and partner think of it? Not that I’m in anyway holding them responsible for his words but I’d be disgusted if a male relative of mine wrote similar. Does he not think of them when he wrote this. He’d be furious if someone wrote similar about them.

His daughter has come out and condemned what he has said today. Emily has made it very clear she's on the side of women and that she disagrees with what he has said about Meghan

Thank goodness 😍
What did she say?
I don't always agree with my Dad on stuff and I know that if he said something like this I'd be strongly disassociating myself from his views and making my opinion clear!

The irony of trying to blame a woman yet again!

Quite! I’m not a Meghan fan, but nobody can doubt she was genuinely treated appallingly by the press even before this. Blaming her for Harry’s decisions is absolute misogyny. And blaming Camilla for being at a (200 guest) lunch also attended by Clarkson is another example. She shouldn’t attend events in case there’s a misogynistic journalist there?! She’d never attend anything if that was the rule. And the King is the head of the royal family, so whatever their collective response to M&H’s treatment by the media it is HIM in charge of it. Probably with the Prince of Wales as an advisor (as he himself was advisor to his mother when he was PoW).

I’m surprised how many people are surprised it was published though. People from Merseyside have been saying for decades: don’t buy the Sun!

The way the mail reported it it seems camilla held the party.

JemimaTiggywinkles · 18/12/2022 22:12

The way the mail reported it it seems camilla held the party.

“Camilla, 75, donned a green midi dress as she stepped out for the star-studded bash at the Murano restaurant in Mayfair on Wednesday, hosted by Ewan Venters - the former head of royal grocer Fortnum & Mason.“

"Hosted by Ewan Venters"

Not hosted by Camilla. I wouldn't read that as it being her party.

She would have known who was on the guest list.

"As she proves Meghan isn't the only one with pulling power"

So in other words Camilla is the one that invited the guests.


How pathetic are they now that they need to mention Meghan's name to get engagement? Otherwise why is Meghan mentioned here at all,?

  1. because people won't click unless Meghan is mentioned
  2. Because Camilla was in charge of the guest list

I wish it was but I doubt it. The grammatical errors give it away

Of course she would. That article with it's headlines and photos was very deliberate. Unlucky for her it backfired

Ok I'm not a big Meghan fan, but that is just horrible

No. At events like this it is pretty standard for the host to secure one or two particularly big name guests then use them to encourage other people to attend. The big name is not the host but is an important draw card.

How anyone thinks this was satire is beyond me. Its disgusting and agree with a pp - ironically does more for Harry and meghans case than the Netflix documentary.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 19/12/2022 06:45

Absolutely disgusting and this middle aged old man needs to just disappear like Katie Hopkins and vile Piers Morgan they are just gross. I sent a complaint also about this as shocking to hear what he wrote about a woman. Especially when so many young women are been violently murdered and he comes out with this crap inciting hatred. Not long since he physically assaulted someone either. He should be cancelled along with Piers Morgan as they just cannot shut the hell up. They must both have tiny willies and are gross. How can their wives and girlfriends think this is ok also and at least his daughter spoke out on it. The bullying towards a woman like this is just unacceptable and no wonder they left the uk as they were so hounded and hope he gets sued for this article. Shocked I really am.

BeginningToLookALotLike · 19/12/2022 07:57

Have the other celebrities who were invited to the party commented on the article at all?

RosettaStormer · 19/12/2022 08:03

Considering Camilla does so much work against domestic violence, I hope she will make sure he isn’t present at any of her gigs in future. Piers Morgan is a horrible man too.

DolphinWars · 19/12/2022 08:52

I’ve noticed that when people talk about MM, online or irl, many start with “I don’t like her, but”, more than I’ve seen with any other public person. I wonder why?

MM is an actress, she hasn’t been groomed since birth to be a royal woman, ready to shrink into the background when protocol dictates, be seen and not heard.
She has been brought into an outdated, toxic institution and is expected to behave like a perfect royal princess. With the media against her, and if rumours are true, with many of the RF against her. I mean, even Andrew isn’t hounded like MM is, and he’s literally a paedophile - American actress is less popular than a white male paedophile, who’d have thought it!

Isn’t it quite telling that this is largely a misogyny-accepting society, and JC’s disgusting comments are an extension of that (I have reported him as well). He and Piers Morgan will carry on being the misogynist twatbags they are because so many of the population agree with them, whether it’s acceptable to say or not.

So many men thrive on wanting to punish women. Particularly women who aren’t afraid of being heard.

RosettaStormer · 19/12/2022 08:58

There's a difference between being a rampant egotist and not being a shrinking violet . There is no excuse for using the sort of language Jeremy Clarkson has, none. Or the way that Piers Morgan talks. However, I really don't believe the media drove them out. I think they didn't like the expectations put on them in return for vast wealth and privilege. Now they have the vast wealth and privilege without having to do any real work for it. End of.

RosettaStormer · 19/12/2022 08:59

PA isn't a paedophile either. He doesn't enjoy sex with children. He's a lot of things, but not a paedophile.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 19/12/2022 09:21

I don’t understand the Prince Andrew comparison. He doesn’t have a 6 part series on Netflix right now which gets pushed at you when you turn on your tv and in your email inbox. If he did I am sure there would be a lot more threads about him.
I bet if you asked people ‘who is worse, Andrew or Meghan?’ it would only be the Clarkson types that said Meghan.
