Last week, the former car show presenter Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson wrote that he dreamed of the day when Meghan would have to “parade naked through the streets of every city in the UK, while the crowds shout Shame! and throw excrement on him”.

The newspaper said on Friday that it regretted the publication of the text, which it removed from its website and its archives, saying it was “sincerely sorry”.

“The fact that the Sun has not contacted the Duchess of Sussex to apologize shows their intentions. It’s nothing more than a publicity stunt,” a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan reacted on Saturday.

“While the public totally deserves the title’s regrets for their dangerous words, we would not be in this situation if the Sun was not continually profiting and exploiting hatred, violence and misogyny,” the spokesperson added.

The contentious article prompted a record number of complaints (more than 20,000) to the British press regulator and numerous convictions of public figures.

Jeremy Clarkson had in response invoked “a clumsy reference to (the series) Game of Thrones”.

“It was taken badly by many people. I am horrified to have caused so much pain and will be more careful in the future,” he wrote.

In one of Game of Thrones’ most defining sequences, a female character undergoes a “walk of shame,” where she’s forced to wander the streets naked while people throw trash at her.
