 Jeremy Clarkson has slammed Prince Harry's claims that the British media 'did not cover' British soldiers being wounded in Afghanistan whilst also revealing they once snuck into a military awards night together. In his recent Heart of Invictus documentary, Prince Harry said he was 'angry' that the media 'weren't covering' the struggles of soldiers after he saw three bodies 'left in pieces' whilst on the frontline a decade ago. However, his comments have now been questioned by Jeremy, who has asserted that their recollections are completely at odds. The former Top Gear presenter has now accused Prince Harry of 'letting rage cloud his judgment'. Hitting out at the Duke's comments, Jeremy said: 'I'm rather startled to hear that he thinks the British media 'did not cover' the plight of soldiers who'd been blown up or killed. 'Because that's not how I remember it at all . . .' The Duke has claimed the British press had not been covering the plight of injured soldiers when he was serving (Picture: Netflix) After citing examples of how the media raised awareness at the time, while also raising money for charity Help for Heroes, Jeremy added that 'no good can come of' Prince Harry believing the media was 'the root of all evil'. The charity, championed by The Sun and other papers, raised £370million to build facilities including a rehabilitation pool for wounded servicemen and women. Jeremy then wrote: 'Every newspaper was filled for months and years with news of the death and the injuries. 'I know that Harry has a problem with the media. He's got it into his head that it's the root of all evil. 'But he's obviously letting this rage cloud his judgment.' However Jeremy said he was 'letting rage cloud his judgment' (Picture: Eleanor Hoad/ Shutterstock) He also recalled a time 'sneaking backstage' with the Duke of Sussex at military awards night The Millies, which was organised by The Sun, where){kind=link}
