Prince Harry calls First Amendment ‘bonkers,’ faces backlash from Cruz, Crenshaw, others

Prince Harry is facing a wave of backlash after he called the First Amendment "bonkers" during a podcast appearance last week.

While chatting about life in Los Angeles – where Harry and wife Meghan Markle have settled since leaving the United Kingdom – the prince discussed what he called the media "freezing frenzy" resulting from his stay at film producer and actor Tyler Perry’s Beverly Hills mansion. He specifically took issue with the paparazzi. "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," Harry said. "But, you can find a loophole in anything. And you can capitalize or exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said."
