Prince William’s Meeting with Clarkson’s Farm Stars Sparks Backlash from Meghan Markle Fans
Prince William recently rubbed shoulders with Clarkson’s Farm cast members Caleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland during a special event hosted by the Duchy of Cornwall, but not everyone is cheering about it—especially Meghan Markle’s loyal supporters.
The 43-year-old Prince of Wales visited Folly Farm to connect with young farmers and promote agricultural initiatives. While there, he crossed paths with Caleb and Charlie, two familiar faces from the hit Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm. A film crew captured the moment, and royal watchers can expect to see the footage in an upcoming season of the show.
But here’s where things get sticky: Prince William’s cozy appearance with the Clarkson’s Farm team has stirred up a storm among fans of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. Why? The show’s outspoken host, Jeremy Clarkson, famously slammed Meghan in 2022, sparking a firestorm of backlash. His harsh words about the former actress left a sour taste for many, and now, William’s link to the series is raising eyebrows.
Social media erupted with reactions from Meghan’s defenders. One user on X vented, “Prince William teaming up with Clarkson’s Farm after what was said about his brother’s wife is a letdown.” Another chimed in, “William showing up on that show feels like a direct jab at Meghan.” A third added, “This is just disrespectful, plain and simple.”
For those who missed it, Clarkson’s original comments about Meghan caused such an uproar that he later backtracked, issuing a public apology to both Prince Harry and Meghan for his controversial rant. Still, the damage was done—and for some royal fans, William’s recent move reopens old wounds.
