Nobody seems to know for sure. Why should we care. Maybe he doesn't even know himself yet. He can't seem to do anything without attracting lots of press articles.

Any one else find it really funny that a poster is using the friendship between The Queen and Jeremy Clarkson who is one of the UK’s most popular figures in entertainment as some sort of gotcha 😂 as if it’s going to bring Camilla down and get her cancelled 😂 if anything people will like her more for it.

Massive UK Popularity: Polling by YouGov ranks him consistently as one of the most popular and recognized contemporary TV personalities in the country.

Clarkson's Farm: He reached an entirely new demographic and global audience through his hit Amazon documentary series Clarkson's Farm, which chronicles his often humorous and chaotic attempts to run his own 1,000-acre agricultural estate in the Cotswolds

Can we clarify? This is bonkers.

There was a lunch.
Many people attended this lunch.
Those people included Camilla and Jeremy Clarkson.
Jeremy Clarkson wrote a nasty article about Meghan.
Somehow... Camilla is to blame?
Have I got that right?

Yes, in the famous words of Billie Joel, there is always a woman to blame. And that woman is Camilla.

I’m afraid apart from the length, you really need to provide more proof than Camilla gave up smoking so obviously the dates are wrong! , you are aware that ex smokers do indeed indulge in a crafty fag! , that’s why we call it crafty!! 🙄
neither of you have anything but conspiracies from the internet.

hang on I actually just really read what you wrote!! , you are aware of the meaning of “met” aren’t you? , how can you argue that when they “met” wasn’t the beginning of their friendship? , are you trying to argue they were friends before they met!! 😬

Edited

Calling this a ‘conspiracy theory from the internet’ is not accurate. A conspiracy theory involves claims of secret coordination or hidden wrongdoing. This is simply looking at publicly available comments and dates.

Discussing the timeline is not a conspiracy.

My teens and all their friends absolutely love Clarkson! DD's bf wants to go to his pub (on the farm I assume) for his 18th! He's not my cup of tea at all, so I find this all quite bemusing, but also sort of touching that there's a cross generational affection there.

Take off the tin foil. No, the RF don't control the press.

No of course they don’t! Organisations like Murdoch’s News Corp. are completely self serving and focused on profit and will play both sides of a story if it benefits the bottom line. They are not going to kill the goose that lays the golden egg!

It would be equally naive to deny though that Camilla has strong connections with key players in the media and is in a position to trade stories and it’s generally acknowledged by many reporters that that she is media savvy and plays the game well.

You’ve implied that Camilla approved the publication of an opinion piece. What is that if not a conspiracy theory about a secret coordination?

Harry always said that he did want to serve in the Royal family but they couldn’t find a way to make HIHO work, despite AMW having been allowed to practice HIHO for over a decade! . Harry went to the Sandringham summit expecting a proper discussion and was presented with a fait accompli.

I don’t think he played his hand skilfully or that everything he did was great, but I do think there was a nugget of truth about how he was treated in comparison say to his Uncle Andrew who was protected and shielded even when it was known he was engaged in some very nefarious activities if not criminal practices. That does show skewed values imho.

Harry was never going to win the battle against such a powerful institution but yes I do think there is something admirable about him speaking up nonetheless. I do believe some elements of some of the things he said. Ironically I think what probably counted against him is that he didn’t go far enough exposing what goes on in terms of financial dodginess!

Edited

I can’t believe anyone is claiming Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is the poster boy for HIHO, and that Harry was hard done by because the RF tried to prevent him from following in his uncles footsteps.

The logic of poor Harry & Meghan being refused an AMW style ‘career’ is absolutely 🧨🧨🧨🧨🤯

That's not evidence that she controls what is printed. This is conspiracy nonsense. None of it is based on evidence.
It is entirely supposition.

Jeremy Clarkson and The Queen are possibly friends

Indeed. A man writes a horrible article. A woman must be to blame!
Evidence - she knows some people and is "media savvy".

I wouldn’t expect anything less

Clarkson’s popularity has nothing whatsoever to do with his misogyny or being part of the so-called Chipping Norton set!

If anything it proves how quite volatile characters who punch workers far below them in hierarchy on tv shoots because they were hangry can always be rehabilitated in the public eye if they have good press connections.

I’ve always liked the phrase ‘Put up or shut up’ 😁

OlympicWomen · 11/07/2026 18:12

Genuinely, @WoodchipAnnie56, do you think Camilla typed up the story? Dictated it to Clarkson? Demanded it was published? Went to the printing department herself?

It's Clarksons own words about meeting for a fag, its Camilla's own words about quitting smoking. Go look it up yourself.

I’m going to be as clear and short as possible, both of you have come here to argue the case about something myself and longtime posters have already discussed and dismissed in 2022 ! , this is why nobody wants to discuss or hear about it! For us it’s old news and boring, and please can you post without imposingly long walls of text! That’s not helping either.

Quite. Camilla is "media savvy"? Hadn't stopped them publishing negative stuff about her. Can't be that savvy.

That does not mean that Camilla is responsible for the article.
You do understand that, don't you?

As I said nobody gives a shit 🤷🏻‍♀️ and really funny you are so concerned about JC punching down, maybe you could have a word with Harry and Meghan about bullying their staff, just a thought.

Another wilful misinterpretation I’m afraid.

I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the RF for happily covering up AMW’s shady and potentially criminal activities for years bc he remained loyal to The Firm while castigating Harry who has done nothing as remotely bad as AMW except reveal some very banal family tensions on tv! The values displayed by the monarchy are completely skewed!

Since when has Harry said anything banal? That man lives for controversy.

Massive UK Popularity: Polling by YouGov ranks him consistently as one of the most popular and recognized contemporary TV personalities in the country.

Clarkson's Farm: He reached an entirely new demographic and global audience through his hit Amazon documentary series Clarkson's Farm, which chronicles his often humorous and chaotic attempts to run his own 1,000-acre agricultural estate in the Cotswolds

It doesn't make his comments any less vile especially when he had a huge public blacklash including a number of MPs. He apologised as did the The Sun.

Some people will seperate his professional life from his personal comments, they love his content and will continue to watch it after all he apologised.

Some people will decide they no longer want to watch his shows or anything else to do with him because of what he said and also he is known to say alot of provactive things.

What people do will be personal and decided by their own personal values and belief systems.

To be honest when he said: I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level. To put someone in the same sentence as a serial killer, it becomes a level of personal hatred that is ust deeply disturbing, its not even funny or provocative.

I am sure people who do not like her would not say they hated her more than a serial killer. Do you?

Well if you are playing that game maybe have a word with AMW about screaming at maids? And groping nannies? And with the RF for covering it up?

What have Camilla, cigarettes, horses and Jeremy Clarkson to do with the price of fish? Or is that Camilla’s fault as well?
