Jeremy Clarkson will be dropped from Amazon Prime as it confirms it won’t commission more seasons

Harry and Meghan have rejected an apology from Jeremy Clarkson for their column as it emerges that his series Clarkson’s Farm and The Grand Tour will be removed from Amazon Prime.

The Duke of Sussex called the article about his wife “horrifying, hurtful and cruel” during an interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby to discuss his autobiography Spare earlier this month.

It comes as Sussexes cheerleader Omid Scobie tweeted a statement from a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan today that accused Clarkson of “spreading dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny”.

It read: ‘On 25 December 2022, Mr Clarkson wrote solely to Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. The content of his correspondence was marked Private and Confidential.

“While Mr. Clarkson issued a new public apology today, what remains to be addressed is his longstanding pattern of writing articles that spread hateful rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny.

‘Unless each of his other pieces were also written ‘in haste’, as he claims, it is clear that this is not an isolated incident shared in a hurry, but rather a series of articles shared in hate. ‘

comes as Variety have reported that Amazon Prime Video will not work with Clarkson beyond the seasons of The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm that they had previously ordered.

Reports say that Clarkson’s Farm could end with season 3, which is expected in 2024, and The Grand Tour could end after four more special episodes, the last of which is expected to be in late 2024.

Clarkson’s Farm documents his efforts to run the Oxfordshire farm he bought in 2008.

The success of the series has seen visitors flock to the Diddly Squat farm shop on Chipping Norton Road, Chadlington and the second series is set to launch on 10th February on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories.

Amazon has been contacted for comment.

Meanwhile, Clarkson said she emailed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Christmas Day to apologize for her column in The Sun newspaper in which she said she “hated” Meghan.

The article, in which the 62-year-old TV presenter said he dreamed of the Duchess parading through British cities and publicly shaming her, became the most denounced article by the Independent Press Standards Organization (Ipso) after its publication. .

The Sun later apologized, saying it was sorry for the publication of the column which last week surpassed more than 25,000 complaints from Ipso.

In a lengthy statement on his verified Instagram account, the The Grand Tour host previously said he emailed the couple on Christmas Day to say their language in the column had been “embarrassing” and that he was “deeply sorry.” “.

He said: ‘One of the strange things I’ve noticed of late is that whenever a parliamentarian or a well-known person is asked to apologize for something, no matter how sincere or profound that apology may be, it is never enough for the people who asked for it in the first place.

“So I’m going to try to buck the trend this morning with an apology for the things I said in a Sun column recently about Meghan Markle. I really feel it. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head. This is me raising my hands. It is a mea culpa with bells on.

‘I usually read what I’ve written to someone else before applying, but on that fateful day I was home alone and in a hurry. So when I was done, I just hit Submit. And then when the column showed up the next day, the land mine exploded.

Clarkson described picking up a copy of the Sun to “see what all the fuss was about”.

He continued: ‘We’ve all been there, I guess. At that precise moment when we suddenly realize that we have been completely wrong. You are sweaty and cold at the same time. And your head throbs. And you feel sick. He couldn’t believe what he was reading. Had he really said that? It was horrible.

‘I knew what had happened immediately. I had been thinking of a scene from Game of Thrones, but I forgot to mention this. So it seemed like she was actually asking for the sickening violence to fall on Meghan’s head.

“I was very angry with myself because in all those controversial days at Top Gear, when I was accused of all sorts of things, it was very rarely sexism.

“I was mortified and so was everyone else. My phone went crazy. Very close friends were furious. Even my own daughter took to Instagram to denounce me.

Clarkson’s statement went on to say that ITV and Amazon, which broadcast Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and The Grand Tour respectively, were “incandescent”.

He said: ‘The Sun was quick to apologize and I tried to explain myself. But still, there were calls to get me fired and charged with a hate crime.

‘More than 60 deputies demanded that measures be taken. ITV, which does Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and Amazon, which does Farm Show and Grand Tour, were incandescent.

“So I wrote to everyone who works with me telling them how sorry I am and then on Christmas morning I emailed Harry and Meghan in California to apologize to them as well.

“I said that I was baffled by what they had been saying on TV, but that the language I had used in my column was shameful and that I was deeply sorry.”

Clarkson said she will “try” to be “interesting and watchful” at the same time in future columns.

His statement concluded: “Over the past 30 years, I have written almost five thousand columns in newspapers and magazines, so it was inevitable that one day I would make a Harry Kane and heaven one of the damn things.” Which is what happened with the article about Meghan.

‘So can I move on now? I’m not sure. It’s hard to be interesting and watchful at the same time. You never hear laughter coming from a health and safety seminar. But I promise you this, I’ll try.

‘Who knows? I’ll be a grandfather very soon, so in the future maybe I’ll just write about it.’
