Prince Harry criticized the First Amendment in relation to the paparazzi. He explained that people are able to find a loophole in anything, First Amendment included, and exploit it for capital gain. He then continued and said:

"I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers."

The Duke made sure to express that he does not completely understand the workings of the First Amendment as he has been living in the USA for a short period of time.

OTHERS COMMENT ON PRINCE HARRY'S STATEMENT

A few political and public figures took to Twitter to share their opinions on Prince Harry's First Amendment comment. Senator Ted Cruz tweeted that it was nice of Harry to say that.

The Duke of Sussex also touched on life with his wife and son in America.

While Rep Dan Crenshaw of R-Texas tweeted that the size of his Independence Day party had just doubled after Harry's comments. Former Brexit leader Nigel Farage said Harry had lost the plot when he condemned the First Amendment.

McCain shared a Daily Wire article about Prince Harry's comments, alongside which she tweeted her own opinion of Harry's comments. She started off by saying that because the USA fought a war in 1776, they did not care what Harry had to say and continued:

"That being said, you have chosen to seek refuge from your homeland here and thrive because all of what our country has to offer."

She wrote that one of the biggest things her country has to offer is the First Amendment. McCain ended her tweet by telling Prince Harry to show respect for First Amendment.

PRINCE HARRY'S SECOND HEADLINE-MAKING INTERVIEW

Similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's super revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in March, Harry did not shy away from personal topics and spoke candidly about life as a royal.

He discussed how he plans to parent his two children, two-year-old son Archie and his daughter who will be born this summer. He spoke about breaking the cycle of generational pain, which had been passed down from his father, Prince Charles.

The Duke of Sussex also touched on life with his wife and son in America. He explained that he has much more freedom in the US compared to his life as a royal in the UK.

Harry moved his family to California in January 2020. They currently live in Montecito, California. The family recently celebrated little Archie's second birthday on May 6, 2021.
