Prince Harry, who now resides in California with Meghan Markle after stepping down from royal duties last year, has received criticism for his recent comments on the First Amendment.

During a podcast interview with Dax Shepard on Armchair Expert, Harry expressed his view that the First Amendment, which safeguards freedom of speech, is “bonkers” and admitted to not fully comprehending it due to his limited time in the United States.

Readers of Express.co.uk were quick to voice their disapproval, with one individual stating that Harry had “shot himself in the foot” by offending both the United Kingdom and now Americans.

The comment section was filled with similar sentiments, highlighting Harry’s alleged arrogance and lack of respect.

Some even suggested that he should return to the UK, while others claimed they didn’t want “more idiots” in the USA.

Meghan McCain, co-host of ABC’s talk show The View and daughter of late US Senator John McCain, reminded Harry of the War of Independence, emphasizing that Americans fought for the right to disregard his opinions.

She urged him to show respect for the First Amendment, considering it one of the country’s most significant achievements.

Commentator Megyn Kelly invoked the famous adage, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt,” suggesting that Harry’s comments only served to diminish his credibility.
