Jeremy Clarkson Defends Piers Morgan Over Meghan Markle Interview

Jeremy Clarkson, the popular television presenter and journalist, has surprisingly come out in support of his on-off rival Piers Morgan.

This comes after Piers' sudden departure from Good Morning Britain following his comments on Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Writing in his column for The Sun, Jeremy criticized the Duchess of Sussex's chat with the talk show host, stating that her brand of simpering victimhood will not bring down the monarchy.

According to Jeremy, Prince Harry's wife is much revered by the young and the stupid, who believe that her banal musings will one day lead to the downfall of the British monarchy.

However, given everything that the monarchy has been through, he is fairly sure it'll be able to weather the storm.

“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,” Jeremy continued.

This is a surprising turn of events, given that Jeremy and Piers have not always seen eye-to-eye.

In fact, the pair had an infamous punch-up at the 2004 British Press Awards, which left Piers permanently scarred above his temple.

Reports at the time claimed that Jeremy ambled over to the mirror's table and attacked, swinging a right hook at Morgan.

Discussing the physical spat between the two, Piers previously said, “It was actually three punches.

He broke his little finger hitting my head because I'm that hard.”

The feud between the two men began in 2002, when Piers, who was a newspaper editor at the time, published photos of Clarkson with a woman who wasn't his wife.

Despite Clarkson's pleas not to run the story, Piers did, leaving his wife and children upset by the article.
