Has Jeremy Clarkson just proved Harry and Meghan right?

[Stopclutchingpearls]

On the radio it was discussing how Harry and Meghan said on Netflix that they got very upset in the past when newspapers would write horrible articles and the Royal Family institute would never have their backs and condone the articles in public.
so after the disgusting article that Jeremy wrote albeit his lame apology on Twitter, there has been no news as far as I am aware of the Royal Family saying violence written about Meghan etc is wrong.
so that being said haven’t they done what Meghan and Harry were moaning about that the Royal family never had their backs?

Has anyone got a link to a copy of the full text of the entire Clarkson Sun article?

The King is supposed to put out an official statement everytime something negative or nasty is said in a tabloid?

I disagree that the role of the RF is to do so. There would be thousands of statements. Those tabloids thrive on headlines that are sensationalized to get views.

Meghan's own PR team hasn't even put out a statement.

People talk about the 'palaces' like it's a separate thing to the RF, like they have no autonomy and must follow 'palace' protocol. They speak out when it benefits them.

I would like to see that too. What was the context? It doesn't make it any better but I just keep seen a screenshot of one quote void of context.

The King is supposed to put out an official statement everytime something negative or nasty is said in a tabloid?

Not 'everytime', no - this time, absolutely!

Though, the time to do it was when the column was published - doing so now would reek of self-preservation and not remotely about concern for his DIL.

The article was been taken down at Clarkson’s request so screenshots may be all you have for now.

Regarding Kate’s botox. I looked a bit online. So it was a cosmetics doctor making a before and after comparison on Instagram. Yet the RF put out a statement to deny it.

It is minimising to just say this is something nasty.

Camilla uses JC and PM as her own little foot soldiers ... and they lap it up! Can't understand why William has any respect for a step mother who has friends like this ... especially as JC also took a swipe at Diana as well as Meghan in his September article

I found an archived version

JEREMY CLARKSON One day, Harold the glove puppet will tell the truth about A Woman Talking B***ks
Jeremy Clarkson

We all know in our heart of hearts that Harold Markle is a slightly dim but fun-loving chin who flew Apache helicopter gunships in Afghanistan and cavorted around Las Vegas hotel rooms with naked hookers. But then along came Meghan, who obviously used some vivid bedroom promises to turn him into a warrior of woke.

And now it seems that she has her arm so far up his bottom, she can use her fingers to alter his facial expressions. I actually feel rather sorry for him because today he’s just a glove puppet with no more control over what he says or does than Basil Brush.

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.

But what makes me despair is that younger people, especially girls, think she’s pretty cool. They think she was a prisoner of Buckingham Palace, forced to talk about nothing but embroidery and kittens. That makes me even angrier. Can’t they see everything that’s happening is so very obviously pre-planned.

Leave the UK. Blame the royals. Do an interview with Oprah.
Get Basil Brush to write a book. Do a Netflix series — which should have been called A Woman, Talking Bollocks.
I can see it clearly. The studied pauses. The mock incredulity.
And the B-movie, soap-actress, quivery-voiced, more-in-sorrow-than-anger stories that are so obviously claptrap.

Do you really think she would have entertained a move to New Zealand? That’s 13 hours away from everything. The spotlight of fame she craves so desperately would have been a 40-watt bulb, and no one would have seen it.
Nah. She was always going to end up in California.

And I can tell you, with absolute certainty, what’s coming next. Harold’s Spare book will be released. Then she’ll do one called I Think I May Be God. And then she’ll have exhausted the whole royal thing — so will be off. We will see Diana-style photographs of her, all on her own, outside the Taj Mahal. And then she will be pictured gazing into the middle distance, on the back of a playboy’s superyacht and will marry a tech billionaire and they’ll have a child called something vomitty like Peace. Or Truth. Or Love.

Harold, meanwhile, will be stuck in California with no friends, either there or here, no family to support him and an army of young girls who’ll believe Meghan’s story that the marriage break-up was all his fault because he’s, like, you know, sooooo a man.

And the Royal Family?
She’s going to damage them — be in no doubt about that.
Because one day soon, my generation will all be dead, and we will be replaced by a new bunch who are growing up believing that Charles and William and Co are bullies who are waited on hand and foot by slaves, eunuchs and spin doctors.

Unless, of course, when Meghan takes her hand out of the ginger glove puppet, he remembers who he is and gives us “the” truth. Not hers

the scud missiles against the UK came from both MM and PH, even worse from H to try to destroy his own family and the British people.

Are you ok? I think you need to lie down.

I don't care, but it is obvious she has had botox or similar treatment.

It is like a woman I know who says she would never have cosmetic surgery. And yet everyone knows that at the least she has had breast implants. We can see.

It's quite funny to read Clarkson - bad, followed immediately by antelope - good, bitching about Catherine and Botox and some other woman for extra bitching back up.

What is the difference?

Most on here have no issue with being nasty - they just want control over who the nastiness should be directed at. They feel justified in their own nastiness but self righteous about others.

If JC had written the same about Camilla or Kate, would they still be upset or cheering?

Has Doria put out a statement speaking out for MM as a woman, wife, mother and daughter?

Not on JC but she spoke about the bullying press and how it affected her daughter more than once in the docseries

I have read the whole thing and it is revolting

What is the difference between a man using his platform to describe his sexualised fantasy about a woman who he would like to see stripped bare and have shit thrown at her and a MN poster who reckons Kate might've had Botox after all, despite the 'palace' insisting otherwise?

Yeah, no difference at all - they are exactly the same 🙄

His comments are incredibly vindicating for Meghan's story. Which is ironic and surreal given it is probably only partially true. I think history will be on her side now, and probably rightly so. There is something rotten about our press that allowed this to see the light of day. Megan had a point.

Yes. Even my most anti Meghan friends on sm are commenting that H&M have a point.

@Anklespraying You think saying it does not matter if she has had botox or not, but you can see has had botox or something similar

is the same as clarkson saying he hates Meghan and wants her to be paraded through the streets naked while people throw excrement at her?

@musingsinmidlife Ta!

I don't know any 'anti-Meghan' people - most of the people in my life don't care about the RF and other than a slight dismay about the personal attacks, she/they are not a subject of interest.

But this? It proves their case beyond all doubt. I've had text messages from friends really upset by that article.

JC has won Meghan a new wave of understanding and support - that's a really good thing.

Unfortunately I do have these people in my life.

One is a really old (older) friend, who is a staunch Royalist and views Meghan as a destroyer of Worlds. I was stunned to hear her comment today that she feels like H&M aren't completely in the wrong and the Palace need to make their position clear.

Wow - it’s even more grim and hate filled than I’d realised.

Any failings MM may have are eclipsed by the bullying article attacking her and Harry. Spectacular own goal.

In what Universe is that an acceptable article to publish about a woman?

How revolting
