Prince Harry said in a recent podcast interview with Dax Shepard that America’s First Amendment is “bonkers.”
Prince Harry was discussing his new role at a non-profit called the Aspen Institute with Shepard on his podcast, “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.” He will serve on the “Commission on Information Disorder” and will conduct studies with 14 other people on a panel to analyze the spread of incorrect information throughout the country, according to The Spectator.
“As I’ve said, the experience of today’s digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand the world we live in,” Prince Harry said about his new job. “It’s my belief that this is a humanitarian issue and as such, it demands a multi-stakeholder response from advocacy voices, members of the media, academic researchers, and both government and civil society leaders.”
When discussing the spread of misinformation, Prince Harry expressed confusion with the First Amendment.
“I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers. I don’t want to start going down the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one which I don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short time,” Prince Harry said. “But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalize or exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said.”
Prince Harry’s comments drew rebukes by many on Twitter.
That said, Harry should read our entire Bill of Rights.
(Harry, that's the first ten amendments to our Constitution, just so you know.)
We also have the right to remain silent. He should start there.
Harry married Megan.
That speaks volumes of his ability to discern.
This from a guy on all fours with a dog collar and leash on.
>>And what kind of lunacy is the British monetary system? Pence and pounds and all that. Uneven and screwy if you ask me.

Thank you for reminding us why we fought for independence from you.
I find it hilarious that Twitter is upset about that. Oh the irony
Hey Harry! Don’t like the First Amendment? Don’t use it. Shut your white privileged mouth and go back to the U.K.! Oh, that’s right; they don’t want you and your mouthy wife either.
Harry might think it is “bonkers” but he might think about this. If there were no first amendment, he would not be able to say the crap he says.
Sort of a Catch 22 isn’t it Harry. BTW, why don’t you do a 23 and Me and see how related you are to Prince Charles.
What doesn’t he understand? He is a well educated person, and it is pretty plainly written.
The “royal” simpleton used free speech to attack the first amendment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I give him a particle of credit for admitting his ignorance.
I don’t know, by “real power” do you mean the right to chop off heads? The divine right of kings to rule may work for New Guinea Mudmen, but it’s a superstition which is impossible to justify in a modern industrial society,
Wonder if Harry suffers from PTSD. If it were not for his military service and combat tour, this guy has led a privlidged, vapid life and has no business preaching to anyone.
Someone tell this ginger a-hole to go back where he came from.
Because Meghan doesn’t understand it. If he wants to keep getting laid he has to publicly say he doesn’t understand.
It’s another “Yes Dear” moment for him.
but what does his dear wife, a future Presidential candidate think??
/s
Personally, I have no problem with what he said.
Ironically, it’s our First Amendment that allows him to question our First Amendment.
He’s British, doesn’t fully comprehend our Bill of Rights, and is having a discussion on a Podcast. So what?
...and I’m here on a forum questioning why everyone seems to have their proverbial knickers in a twist about it. Ain’t America great?
