Prince Harry is receiving backlash after suggesting the First Amendment is “bonkers.”

During an episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast, Harry shared his experience living in Los Angeles with his family and how the media has affected them.

Calling the media a “feeding frenzy,” Harry explained his family stayed at actor Tyler Perry’s home.

“The helicopters, the drones, the paparazzi cutting the fence like it was madness and people out there, their response was, ‘Well what do you expect? You live in LA,'” Harry said.

Turning his attention to the First Amendment, Harry told the hosts of the podcast, “I don’t want to start sort of going down the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one in which I don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short period of time.”

He added, “But, you can find a loophole in anything. And you can capitalize or exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said.”

Listen to the episode below:

Harry argued, “If we collectively became better at not clicking on and not spreading or sharing the things that we know are putting other people through hell, then there’s no market for it.”

Before transitioning to the next subject, Harry added, “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 of Sussex received push back for his comment from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

“Nice that he can say that,” Cruz tweeted.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) also tweeted, “Well I just doubled the size of my Independence Day party.”

Former Brexit leader Nigel Farage shared his response.

For Prince Harry to condemn the USA's First Amendment shows he has lost the plot. Soon he will not be wanted on either side of the pond.

“For Prince Harry to condemn the USA’s First Amendment shows he has lost the plot. Soon he will not be wanted on either side of the pond,” he wrote.
