Clarkson would reportedly finish out currently-planned seasons of Clarkson's Farm and The Grand Tour before being dropped by the streaming service.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has hit out at TV star Jeremy Clarkson.

Reports suggest that the ex-'Top Gear' presenter's lucrative Amazon deal may be coming to an end after his apalling comments about Meghan Markle.

When he first launched The Grand Tour with Amazon, with Top Gear lackeys James May and Richard Hammond in tow, there was a bit of bluster about it – the sort of “better off without her” posturing that sometimes accompanies a breakup. If the reports of Amazon dropping Clarkson are true (they have declined to comment so far), it is more than possible that ITV would follow. It was Clarkson’s physical assault of a producer that was the final straw, but his time on TopGear was peppered with problematic incidents. For many people, Clarkson’s charm lies in his perceived groundedness, his seeming like “some bloke down the pub” who just happens to know a lot about cars. “Go pick up some potatoes and say hello,” the parents would say. And for a while, it worked: The Grand Tour was, by most measures, a success. [letter of contrition](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/jeremy-clarkson-apology-meghan-harry-b2263078.html), describing his remarks as “disgraceful” and stating that he was “profoundly sorry”. But you don’t need to do that to yourself: Clarkson has been loudly announcing who he is, on camera, for years. Later that day it was reported by Variety that Amazon was [looking to “cut ties” with Clarkson](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/jeremy-clarkson-amazon-contract-meghan-b2263470.html), and would not be renewing either of the projects he fronts. The former Top Gear presenter was shockingly, almost inexplicably vitriolic in his words, writing that he hated the Duchess of Sussex “on a cellular level” and dreamed of her being “made to parade naked through the streets” while crowds pelted her with excrement. This was a man who joked about the murder of sex workers, who made homophobic and racist remarks on multiple occasions – including an incident when he allegedly mumbled the “N-word” on camera while reciting a children’s rhyme. But no one had a right to be surprised.

The former MP criticised Clarkson's long-awaited apology.

Jeremy Clarkson 'Who Wants To be a Millionaire?' role is being weighed up by ITV following the Meghan Markle, Prince Harry column.
