Prince William is stirring the pot with a surprising move that’s got royal fans talking. The future King is reportedly set to appear on a TV show alongside Jeremy Clarkson—a guy who’s made no secret of his disdain for Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. With tensions still simmering between William and his brother Prince Harry, this decision is raising eyebrows across the globe.
The Prince of Wales will join forces with Clarkson, a vocal Meghan critic, for an episode of the hit Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm. The news broke after William rubbed shoulders with the show’s stars, Caleb Cooper and farming expert Charlie Ireland, at a Duchy of Cornwall event on Wednesday. The gathering brought together 60 young farming tenants at Folly Farm in Chew Valley, where William shone a spotlight on mental health support for farmers—a cause close to his heart.
A Clarkson’s Farm camera crew tagged along, capturing William in action as he hosted workshops on business resilience and led talks about mental health in agriculture. It’s a bold move for the 43-year-old royal, who’s also just been named Patron of We Are Farming Minds, a Herefordshire charity backed by the Duchy. But it’s his link-up with Clarkson that’s stealing the headlines.
Jeremy Clarkson isn’t exactly Meghan’s biggest fan. Back in 2022, the TV presenter penned a scathing column in The Sun and fired off posts on X, saying the Duchess “ought to be paraded through the streets naked.” He didn’t hold back, admitting he loathed her “on a cellular level” and fantasized about crowds pelting her with excrement while shouting “shame.” The comments sparked outrage, and though Clarkson later apologized, his beef with Meghan remains a sore spot—especially with Harry and Meghan’s camp.
So, why is William cozying up to this guy? The Duchy event was all about inspiring the next generation of farmers, and Clarkson’s Farm—now filming its fourth season—fits the vibe. Still, the optics are tricky. With the royal rift showing no signs of healing, William’s TV appearance with a Meghan detractor could feel like a jab at his sister-in-law. On X, fans are split—some cheer the collaboration, others call it a “spineless” move.
Whatever the motive, Prince William’s Clarkson’s Farm cameo is set to drop a bombshell in royal circles. Will it deepen the divide with Harry and Meghan, or is it just a farmer-friendly flex? We’ll find out when the episode hits Amazon Prime.
