British television presenter Jeremy Clarkson said Monday he is "horrified to have caused so much hurt" with a scathing column about Prince Harry's wife, Meghan, that attracted a flood of complaints.
The press regulator said it had received more than 6,000 complaints about the column -- almost half as many as the total number of complaints it received last year.Clarkson, who made his name as the combative host of the BBC car show "Top Gear," said the public shaming image was "a clumsy reference" to a scene in "Game of Thrones."
Clarkson's column followed the release of a six-part Netflix documentary about Harry and Meghan's acrimonious split from the British royal family. The couple quit royal duties and moved to California in 2020, citing a lack of support from the palace and racist press treatment of Meghan, who is biracial.
