Prince William has been tight-lipped about his rumble with Prince Harry, but his latest move is bound to ruffle feathers over at Camp Sussex.
At 42, Wills is rumoured to have snipped ties with the Sussexes after their repeated public attacks on the royals. And just the other day, Harry spoke to the BBC, saying “some members of my family will never forgive me” for penning his tell-all book Spare.
Now, it’s been suggested that William will feature on Clarkson’s Farm, just two years after host Jeremy Clarkson’s unsavoury remarks about Meghan. The Times recently let slip that “Prince William features in the next-but-one series of Clarkson’s Farm”.

Gossip about his cameo kicked off when William attended an event for the Duchy of Cornwall’s fresh crop of farming tenants in Bristol this March – and bumped into Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland from Clarkson’s Farm, reports the Mirror.
In a cheeky moment, William passed on a message to Kaleb from young Prince George. “You’ve got George watching now,” said William.
“I said to him, ‘What shall I say if I meet Kaleb?’ He said, ‘Tell Kaleb to mind his language’.”
Kaleb owned up: “I did get told off for swearing too much…I tried to stop, but at the same time, it’s awesome. That’s what I like about the whole show…I’ve had so many people thank me, going, ‘You brought the family together.’ It’s a great feeling.”

Back in December 2022, Clarkson stirred up a storm with his piece for The Sun where he expressed loathing for Prince Harry’s wife Meghan “on a cellular level” and fantasised about her being pelted with poo “when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain”.
Clarkson later owned up in a tweet that his words were “a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones,” conceding that it “has gone down badly with a great many people”.
His article triggered an instant furore, leading The Sun to scrub it from their website.
Following over 25,000 complaints to Ipso – the Independent Press Standards Organisation – the watchdog branded the column sexist. Both The Sun and Clarkson have since said sorry, with the tabloid expressing it was “sincerely sorry”.

However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s camp has called out Clarkson’s claim that he apologised to both Meghan, 43, and Prince Harry, 40. In a January 2023 statement, their spokesperson clarified: “On December 25, 2022, Mr. Clarkson wrote solely to Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. The contents of his correspondence were marked Private and Confidential.
“While a new public apology has been issued today by Mr. Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his long-standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny,” the statement read.
“Unless each of his other pieces were also written ‘in a hurry,’ as he states, it is clear that this is not an isolated incident shared in haste but rather a series of articles shared in hate.”
