Meghan Markle’s Reps Dismissed 1 Apology Statement from The Sun
Meghan Markle’s camp flatly rejects The Sun newspaper’s apology for Jeremy Clarkson’s hateful and derogatory column. It seems the royals are in no mood to accept anything less than a proper display of remorse from those who help spread offensive and bigoted media content about their colleague.
On Friday, December 16 (the day after the long-awaited release of the Harry and Meghan docu-series), Clarkson (of The Sun) sent social media shockwaves with his rather candid take on the Duchess, proclaiming that he didn’t like her. After receiving a barrage of criticism, The Sun took down its article on Monday and apologized for its insensitive content. They humbly expressed that they were “sincerely sorry” for offending so many readers.
On Saturday, a rep for Markle boldly dismissed the Sun’s apology as a dishonest attempt to win back public favor. “The fact that the Sun has not contacted The Duchess of Sussex to apologize shows their intent,” the statement said.
“This is nothing more than a PR stunt. While the public absolutely deserves the publication’s regrets for their dangerous comments, we wouldn’t be in this situation if The Sun did not continue to profit off of and exploit hate, violence and misogyny. A true apology would be a shift in their coverage and ethical standards for all. Unfortunately, we’re not holding our breath.”

An apology from The Sun said: “Columnists’ opinions are their own, but as a publisher, we realize that with free expression comes responsibility. We at The Sun regret the publication of this article, and we are sincerely sorry.”
In his scathing column, Clarkson eloquently compared Markle to a villain on the hit show Game of Thrones, revealing that he despises her more than anyone.
“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,” he wrote.
On the day of its dismantling, Clarkson took to Twitter to express his awareness that it offended many – yet an apology was notably absent from the conversation. “Oh, dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it,” he posted on his Twitter handle. “In a column, I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones, and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt, and I shall be more careful in the future.......Read More
