Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter, Emily, 28, has joined a host of stars criticising the former Top Gear star for his furious rant about how much he “hates” Meghan Markle. Jeremy’s comments came in response to Meghan and Prince Harry’s Netflix documentary which prompted him to say he “hates” her “not like [he] hates Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West” but “on a cellular level”.

Continuing in his column for The Sun, Jeremy raged: “At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she 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. 

“Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.” 

Now, Emily has publicly slammed her dad’s rant.

She reshared a previous post in which she described her “steadfast defence” of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and criticised the media for being “hellbent on destroying” Meghan.

On Sunday, Emily added the caption: “I said it last week, I’ll say it again. I believe this on a cellular level.”

In a follow-up post shared to her Instagram Story, Emily continued: “My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media. 

“I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those that are targeted with online hatred.”

Jeremy Clarkson’s representatives have been contacted for comment.

Following Emily’s comments, Carol Vorderman took to Twitter to share her support.

She penned: “Jeremy Clarkson. His wonderful daughter Emily has just put out a statement on her Instagram account. ‘I stand against everything that my Dad wrote about Meghan Markle’. FYI Emily has spoken many times about how she suffered very badly from online abuse when she was younger.”

Earlier in the day, Carol criticised Jeremy’s rant by raging: “NO Jeremy Clarkson. Not on any level, in any circumstance, is it ok to write this stuff about any woman & absolutely NO to ‘everyone who’s my age thinks the same’ No no no. We absolutely do NOT think the same. Listen to the noise Jeremy. The crowds are chanting ‘shame on YOU’.” (sic)

A host of other famous faces have also taken to social media to condemn Jeremy’s rant. 

Dan Walker shared an excerpt of Jeremy’s column on Twitter and said: “I get that it’s his job to provoke a response with his words but does Jeremy Clarkson, or indeed anyone, actually feel like this about Meghan Markle? There are so many red flags in here.”

While comedian Kathy Burke penned: “Watched the rest of #HarryandMeganNetflix Still think they’re pretty great and I love their relationship with Meghan’s gorgeous Mum, Doria. Wishing them continued happiness and people like that colossal c***, Clarkson continued pain with the thought of it.”
