Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily has condemned her father's comments about Meghan Markle after he was slammed for claiming he wanted to see her "paraded through the streets naked" and have "excrement thrown at her".
Two weeks after the first episodes aired, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's latest Netflix series - which documents the beginning of their relationship and their controversial decision to step away as senior royals - has polarized opinion.
Split into six separate episodes, Harry and Meghan are interviewed on their childhoods, careers, marriage, and new life in California following their exit from the UK.
The couple has received immense support from numerous famous faces, including the UK's This Morning TV show host Alison Hammond, who defended Meghan following claims from a royal expert that she'd "bullied" Buckingham Palace staff, per Express.
At the same time, the couple has been subject to internet trolls and disapproving comments from people like Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson.
Morgan - who once claimed to be a "superfan" of Meghan and was even axed from Good Morning Britain for his negative comments on her - had stated that the Netflix docuseries was "worse than Keeping Up With The Kardashians," in a tweet.
Clarkson, however, chose to pen a column in The Sun about his vitriol for 41-year-old Meghan - writing that he hated her "on a cellular level" and that he was "dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, 'Shame!' and throw lumps of excrement at her."
He appeared to be referring to Cersei's walk of shame in the TV series Game of Thrones with his comments about Meghan. In that scene, Cersei - who was accused of many heinous crimes and of having an adulterous relationship with her twin brother - had her head shaved and was forced to walk naked through the streets, while villagers threw excrement at her and shouted "Shame!"
In his column, the former Top Gear host added that his opinions were shared by most of the baby boomer generation, adding: "Everyone who's my age thinks the same way."
The Sun column has been widely criticized, and 62-year-old Clarkson has even been accused of inciting violence against Meghan.
Liverpudlian comedian John Bishop tweeted: "WTF is this ?? I don't care who you are or who you work for you simply can not write things like this. It is a blatant appeal to incite humiliation and violence on a woman. Some have excused it as dark humour. There is no joke here [Clarkson] and no excuse [sic]."
Countdown star Carol Vorderman, 61, also hit out at Clarkson, writing: "NO Jeremy Clarkson. Not on any level, in any circumstance, is it ok to write this stuff about any woman & absolutely NO to 'everyone who's my age thinks the same' No no no. We absolutely do NOT think the same. Listen to the noise Jeremy. The crowds are chanting 'shame on YOU.'"
Clarkson's daughter Emily, who is a podcaster, also lashed out at her father's column on her Instagram stories, writing: "My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media.
"I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those who are targeted with online hatred."
Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary - while evidently polarizing - offers viewers a real glimpse into the couple's behind-the-scenes decisions to step away from their roles as senior royals and become more financially independent.
After the first three episodes were released, Netflix recorded that they had received 81.55 million viewing hours in just one week, per The Guardian.
