The British tabloid “Sun” has apologized for a hateful column against Duchess Meghan. “Columnists have their own opinions, but as editors we know that with freedom of expression comes responsibility,” the paper said last night. “We at The Sun regret the publication of this article and we are truly sorry.”
Moderator Jeremy Clarkson’s post has been removed from the site and archives. The newspaper belongs to the publishing company News Corporation owned by American businessman Rupert Murdoch. The December 17 post was a response to the Netflix series Harry and Meghan, in which the couple explained their reasons for leaving the British royals. Clarkson emphasized: “I hate Meghan”.
He also fantasized about wanting Prince Harry’s 41-year-old wife to parade naked through British cities and smear excrement through a crowd. The post sparked a firestorm of outrage. Dozens of lawmakers, as well as Clarkson’s daughter Emily, criticized the text. The media regulator received a record number of complaints. The 62-year-old actor shared that he made an “weird” reference to the “Game of Thrones” series. He announced that he would be more careful in the future.
