Jeremy Clarkson Takes Swipe at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Calls Them Less Interesting than Joe Rogan

Jeremy Clarkson, the Grand Tour presenter, has once again criticized Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, calling them less interesting than US comedian and presenter Joe Rogan.

The 61-year-old star of Clarkson's Farm made the comments in his weekly column, where he took a swipe at the $18 million the Sussexes have earned for their podcast deal compared to the amount earned by Rogan, which is over five and a half times bigger.

Writing in The Sun, Jeremy compared the couple's podcast earnings to that of UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who he claims to have never heard of.

He wrote, “I learned this week that a man called Joe Rogan, who I've never heard of, has trousered $100 million after selling tape recordings of himself talking to people.”

He went on to compare the comedian's whopping $100 million to that of Harry and Meghan's $18 million Spotify deal.

Jeremy commented that Harry and Meghan, who like to think of themselves as the biggest stars in the world, are selling tape recordings of themselves talking for just $18 million.

“Which means they are actually 5.55 times less interesting than someone I've never heard of,” he finished.

It is worth noting that Spotify has removed Neil Young's music from its streaming site after the Canadian singer insisted that they download his music as they continue to host Joe Rogan's podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience.

The comedian's podcast is thought to be downloaded 200 million times a month and has apparently signed the sports broadcast for 75 million pounds.

Clarkson's comments come days after it was revealed that Spotify is hiring in-house producers to help deliver on the $18 million deal with Harry and Meghan after they only produced one podcast episode.

The streaming platform is now taking things into their own hands after little content emerged from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Harry and Meghan released their actual podcast episode more than a year ago in December 2020.

Jeremy's comments come months after he claimed that Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal would produce drivel.

The Sussexes struck a deal with Netflix after they quit their royal duties and moved to California last year.

As part of their deal with the streaming giant, the couple planned to make documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted shows, and children's programming.

Addressing the deal, Clarkson responded, “They will be drivel.

100 million pounds to make shows and films that inform and give hope?

Kill me.

I'd be much better making their programs, as I don't give a s t about anything they give a s t about.

Just awful.”

In addition to this, Jeremy Clarkson also took aim at Meghan Markle as the very first thing on the agenda on his new TV show, calling it the festival of tears.

He tore into the broadcast as the opening item on the show and told viewers, “Meghan Markle was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.

There was a moment where Meghan Markle seemed, ‘How can I put this politely, to break wind?'”

Jeremy then played the clip of the offending noise, saying, “Sorry, can we just hear that again?”

Referring to Piers Morgan's belief that Meghan wasn't telling the truth during the grilling, he added, “It really does sound like Piers had a point.

Her pants really were on fire.”

However, he added, “Now I've had a note here from the legal department at ITV.

They wanted to be made plain that that was not a fart.

I have no idea how they know that, but they want me to make it clear that the fart noise probably came out of Oprah's mouth.”

Meghan and Harry's $18 million Spotify deal is not the only project the couple has been working on.

Meghan is also producing a new animated series titled Pearl, which will center on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl inspired by influential women from history.

In a statement, Meghan said she is thrilled that Archul Productions will bring this new animated series, which celebrates extraordinary women throughout history, to the audience.
