Jeremy Clarkson has blasted his local council for banning him from selling his book at his farm's shop.
The former Top Gear presenter, 62, claims officials told him as the book was not locally produced he cannot flog copies of his non-fiction work on his Diddly Squat farm.
Clarkson has hit back and claimed Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm was written in his kitchen - arguing "you can't get more local than that."
The celebrity farmer's book blow comes as Prince Harry's debut memoir become the fastest selling non-fiction book ever, as the Duke of Sussex's tell-all tale lambasting the royal family was finally published today.
Clarkson has been a vocal critic of Harry and his wife Meghan Markle and last month was condemned, after saying he hates the former Suits actress "on a cellular level" and wants her to be "paraded naked through the streets".
The controversial star explained in his now-deleted newspaper column how he "dreams of people throwing lumps of excrement at her" in the insensitive spew of hatred towards Meghan – who he has never met.
As Harry's book Spare breaks records across the world, Clarkson has spoken out about his own piece writing - after council bosses told the presenter to stop selling copies of Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm at his farm shop.
"I cannot understand why (the council) doesn't want me to sell my farming books in the shop," Clarkson has fumed.
"They claim they weren't made locally but I wrote them at my kitchen table, and you literally can't get more local than that," he added to the MailOnline.
"It would be helpful if we could sell a few tee shirts too."
A West Oxfordshire District Council spokesman told the publication they weren't aware of any enforcement action taken to stop Clarkson selling the books on the Diddly Squat farm.
They added: "A farm shop is for the sale of local produce. If he's selling books that's a different thing in planning terms."
Clarkson got a mention during Harry's ITV interview on Sunday night, as the dad-of-two blasted the presenter's hate-filled comments about his wife Meghan.
The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? presenter attended an event the Queen Consort was present at just days before the controversial column was published in print and online last month.
"When we're talking about accountability, you know, just recently, which I know you know about, um you know, the Jeremy Clarkson article," Harry began when discussing the hate-filled piece with Tom Bradby during their chat.
"So not only did, what he said was horrific and is hurtful and cruel towards my wife, but it also encourages other people around the UK and around the world, men particularly, to go and think that it's acceptable to treat women that way."
He then added: "You know, to use my stepmother’s words recently as well, there is a global pandemic of violent – violence against women."
Harry's tell-all memoir was finally released today, after several promotional interviews and extracts of the book being leaked prior to publication.
Spare has already become a bestseller thanks to 400,000 hardback, e-book and audio format copies being snapped up, its publisher said.
Larry Finlay, managing director of Transworld Penguin Random House, said: "We always knew this book would fly but it is exceeding even our most bullish expectations.
"As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those starring the other Harry (Potter)."
