The press watchdog has upheld a complaint that a Jeremy Clarkson opinion column in The Sun was sexist towards Meghan Markle, describing some of the comments about her as “pejorative and prejudicial”.

The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) also rejected complaints that the piece – in which Clarkson wrote he had dreamed of Meghan being paraded naked through British towns and publicly shamed – was inaccurate, harassed Ms Markle and included discriminatory references to her on the grounds of race.
