Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson faced a barrage of complaints on Monday after a huge backlash to a newspaper column in which he said he “hated” Prince Harry’s wife Meghan.

The UK Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) said it had so far received more than 12,000 complaints over the article as of 1700 GMT on Monday, nearly as much as it received in total for 2021.
The outspoken 62-year-old presenter insisted that he had been referencing the television series “Game of Thrones”.
