Prince Harry’s Criticism of First Amendment Sparks Backlash in the US

's recent comments about the First Amendment have sparked a growing backlash against the Duke of Sussex in the United States.

Last week, Harry enraged several leading American figures after he suggested that the First Amendment, which protects the right to freedom of speech, was bonkers.

Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny claimed that Americans prefer their freedom over taking unsolicited advice from when it comes to their constitutional rights.

Mr. Kenny responded by telling Sky News Australia viewers, “I think Harry might be overstaying his welcome now.

The Americans love a bit of star power and celebrity to be sure, but they also kind of like their freedom.

And they don't take too kindly to unsolicited advice from the British Royals.”

Viewers agreed with Mr. Kenny's assessment, saying, “in British and the language doesn't contain words adequate to describe how embarrassed I feel every time Harry opens his mouth.”

One viewer said, “they are a truly matched couple.

Markle spouts ill-informed rubbish about Britain and Harry spouts ill-informed rubbish about the US.”

Responding to Harry's criticism of the First Amendment, Fox News panelist Jesse Watters joked, “if he thinks the First Amendment is bonkers, wait until he hears about the second.

He complains about the press more than Donald Trump.

Why is he talking so much?

Keep it in a little.”

Similarly, Lee Cohen, an expert on Anglo-American matters for the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, hit out at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for having besmirched the Royal Family in their interview.

He warned the couple that their fairy tale is wearing thin in the US as Americans begin to turn on Harry and Meghan.

Fox News host Sean Hannity also ripped into Harry earlier this week, calling him the Prince of Woke social justice warriors.

He said, “we don't need Harry coming from England to lecture us on our bonkers First Amendment that he can't understand.”

Harry's comments have not gone down well with many Americans, who take great pride in their constitutional rights.

They view his criticism of the First Amendment as an attack on American values and a lack of understanding of the country's history.
