Clarkson Supports Piers Morgan Amid Meghan Markle Controversy
Renowned television personality Jeremy Clarkson has surprised many by expressing his solidarity with his on-again, off-again rival Piers Morgan over the recent explosive interview of Meghan Markle with Oprah Winfrey.
The 60-year-old host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire shared his thoughts on the ongoing discourse surrounding the Duchess of Sussex's conversation with the talk show icon, which ultimately led to Piers' sudden exit from Good Morning Britain.
In a recent column penned for The Sun, Jeremy criticized Meghan Markle, suggesting that her portrayal as a victim is embraced mainly by the naive and gullible individuals who anticipate the downfall of the monarchy through her actions.
He confidently asserted that despite the challenges faced by the British royal family, they are resilient enough to withstand the shallow narratives of a mere television actress.
Jeremy Clarkson further stated his prediction regarding Meghan Markle's future, asserting, “Trust me on this one.
Markle's toast, and within five years, I suspect she'll be posing for photographs, on her own outside the Taj Mahal or sitting on the back of a Playboy's yacht in the Med, and poor old Piers will realize that he lost his job over absolutely nothing at all.”
This unexpected show of support from Jeremy comes amidst a history of public conflicts between him and Piers Morgan.
Notably, the two personalities engaged in a well-known physical altercation during the 2004 British Press Awards, where reports suggested that Jeremy approached Piers' table and initiated a physical confrontation by throwing punches.
Reflecting on the altercation, Piers Morgan humorously recounted, “‘It was actually three punches.'
He permanently scarred me above my temple because he had a ring on, but the good news was he broke his little finger hitting my head because I'm that hard.”
The feud between Jeremy and Piers dates back to 2002 when Piers, then a newspaper editor, published compromising photos of Clarkson with a woman who was not his spouse, despite Clarkson's pleas to refrain from doing so.
