Prince William is reportedly set to appear on the upcoming season of Jeremy Clarkson’s Amazon Prime Video series, Clarkson’s Farm.
The news was seemingly confirmed by The Times in a profile of Clarkson, 65, published on Sunday, May 11, after the BBC was the first to report the news in March.
You may recognize Clarkson’s name following his controversial comments about Meghan Markle in 2022. While penning an article for The Sun, the broadcaster wrote that he hated Markle, 43, but “not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West,” but on a “cellular level.”

Clarkson went on to admit that he wished Markle was “made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain,” similar to Cersei Lannister on HBO’s Game of Thrones.
According to several publications, Clarkson’s article received over 25,000 complaints—a record high. As a result, The Sun removed the article from its website.
“Columnists’ opinions are their own, but as a publisher, we realise that with free expression comes responsibility. We at The Sun regret the publication of this article and we are sincerely sorry. The article has been removed from our website and archives,” the outlet’s apology read.

Clarkson also shared an apology of his own on Twitter—now X—claiming that he e-mailed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Christmas morning.
However, representatives for Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, claimed that Clarkson only apologized to the Duke.
“On December 25, 2022, Mr. Clarkson wrote solely to Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. The contents of his correspondence were marked Private and Confidential. While a new public apology has been issued today by Mr. Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his long-standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny,” the statement began, per People.
“Unless each of his other pieces were also written ‘in a hurry,’ as he states, it is clear that this is not an isolated incident shared in haste but rather a series of articles shared in hate,” the statement added.
