According to BBC News, Clarkson, who is the star of Amazon Prime series 'Clarkson's Farm' and hosts 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?', has issued an apology to Harry and Meghan. 

In a statement that was made on Monday, 17 January, the TV presenter revealed that he emailed the couple on Christmas Day to apologise. 

Clarkson used language in his column that many considered "disgraceful" - and he is "profoundly sorry" for that.

Clarkson wrote how a naked Meghan should be pelted with excrement and shamed in public - like the scene from 'Game of Thrones'.

'Dreaming of the day when she [Meghan] 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.'

Her husband, Prince Harry, described the column as "horrific, hurtful, and cruel".
