Known for his controversial comments, which have even caused diplomatic protests in the past, British television presenter Jeremy Clarkson is once again at the center of controversy.

This time it was due to a column that he signed in the British tabloid The Sun last Friday in which he talked about his feelings about Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife, and that he was described as "misogynistic", "racist" and even "disgusting".

In it, he stated that he "hated her with every cell" and added, in a reference to the "Game of Thrones" series, that he would like to see her beaten in public.

"That she paraded naked through the streets of every town in Britain, while the crowds yelled 'Shame!' and they throw loads of excrement at her," Clarkson wrote in his text, referring to the character of Cersei Lannnister who, in the fifth episode of the tenth season of the series, faces a "walk of shame".

The press regulatory body in the United Kingdom, Ipso, had received more than 17,500 complaints from the public until Tuesday, the largest number of claims that the body has registered in its history, according to British media.
