Top Gear legend Jeremy Clarkson has taken a swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The outspoken star, who currently hosts Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, logged into social media after the couple’s expositive tell-all with Oprah Winfrey aired in both the US and the UK.
During the two hour special, the actress turned Duchess of Sussex sent shockwaves around the world after accusing the royal family of racism.
She claimed that in a conversation that she was not part of, an unnamed member of the Royal Family expressed “concern” about what skin colour her then unborn son Archie would have.
Both she and Prince Harry refused to give any more context about the alleged comment, nor would they confirm who said it.

Off camera, Oprah says Harry told her that it was neither The Queen, 94, or Prince Phillip, 99, who currently is in hospital recovering from heart surgery.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, Jeremy tweeted to his 7.2million followers: “People of America.
“You sent Piers Morgan back to the UK. Now look what we’ve sent back to you. Ha. We win.”

His post was immediately met with a flurry of responses both supporting the controversial couple and also the Royal Family.
One fan wrote: “Lord almighty I would rather have Meghan and Harry any day over that old unhappy Morgan.”
Another added: “Harry and Meghan are good kids. Take them over Piers any day.”
A third chimed in: “Oh that’s just not fair. We’d love to send her [Meghan] back to you.”
On Tuesday evening Piers shocked the nation by sensationally quitting his co-hosting job on Good Morning Britain.
The outspoken star faced backlash after he said live on Monday’s show he didn’t believe everything Meghan had said.
His comments prompted 41,000 Ofcom complaints – with the majority focusing on Piers casting doubt the former Deal or No Deal box girl was left suicidal.

Piers is understood to have held crisis meetings with ITV who asked him to apologise but he refused.
As a result he quit leaving ITV to release a short statement.
The channel, which had aired the now infamous interview on Monday evening, said: “Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain.
“ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday morning, Piers stood by his decision saying: “On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, that’s OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”
