Britain’s media regulator said on Thursday it was investigating an article by TV star Jeremy Clarkson in The Sun newspaper in which he hoped Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan, would one day be forced to walk the streets naked, Reuters reported.

“I hate her (…) I can’t sleep at night and I lie awake, gnashing my teeth and dreaming of the day when she walks naked through the streets of every city in Britain while mobs throw excrement at her,” he said. Jeremy Clarkson wrote then.

The post, published in December and later retracted by The Sun, sparked widespread condemnation from the public, politicians, Clarkson’s employers and even her own daughter, after he wrote that he hated Meghan on “level cam”.

Clarkson and The Sun, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, apologized for the article, but Britain’s independent Press Standards Organization (IPSO) said it had launched an investigation following complaints from two women’s charities, the Fawcett Society and the Wilde Foundation.

Clarkson’s column was the most complained about article by IPSO, which said it had received more than 25,100 complaints from the public.

IPSO, which is funded by its member publications, can require publishers to publish corrections if they are found to be non-compliant and can fine them up to £1 million (US$1.2 million) in serious and systemic cases.

Harry said Clarkson’s comments were not only appalling and offensive, but also encouraged the idea that it was acceptable to “treat women this way”.

Harry and Meghan have grabbed headlines in recent months for their accusations of misogyny and racism against British tabloids and Harry’s memoir, which contained very personal revelations about his life and relationship with the royal family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been the subject of irony in the British tabloids, especially since they stepped down from their royal roles in 2020 and moved to California.

Apologizing, Clarkson called the words he used “disgraceful”.

A spokesman for Harry and Meghan said in response at the time that Clarkson’s “long career in writing articles that spread hateful rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny” had yet to be addressed.
