Jeremy Clarkson has spoken out against Prince Harry's comments in his recent 'Heart of Invictus' documentary, where he said the British press 'did not cover' the struggles of soldiers in Afghanistan.
The former Top Gear presenter accused the Duke of Sussex of 'letting rage cloud his judgment', claiming the media was instead 'filled for months and years with news of the death and the injuries'.
Jeremy went on to cite examples of how the media raised awareness at the time, while also raising money for charity Help for Heroes, which raised £370million to build facilities for wounded servicemen and women.
The presenter then recalled a time when he and the Duke of Sussex 'snuck backstage' at military awards night The Millies, organised by The Sun, where wounded servicemen and women could spend time with celebrities and the British royal family.
Despite his criticism of Prince Harry's comments, Jeremy 'commended' him for his role in creating the Invictus Games. He added that the Duke should also 'give credit where credit is due'.
Earlier this year, Jeremy was reprimanded by IPSO after writing a column about Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, in which he said he hated her on a 'cellular level'. He later apologised and said he had forgotten to make it clear he was joking.
Prince Harry has been vocal about his experience of seeing three bodies 'left in pieces' whilst on the frontline a decade ago. His documentary 'Heart of Invictus' is now streaming on Netflix.
