Prince Harry branded the US Constitution's First Amendment as 'bonkers' during a controversial podcast appearance.
The Duke of Sussex's comments about the constitution's freedom of speech clause were not well received by some in America.
The royal said he did not understand the country's First Amendment in his chat with the Armchair Expert podcast.
He also claimed he had suffered 'genetic pain' which he did not want to pass down to his children in the bombshell conversation.
Discussing the US Constitution, he said: "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.
"But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalise or exploit what's not said rather than uphold what is said."
His remarks have proved unpopular among some Americans, MailOnline reports.

In his latest podcast appearance, Prince Harry told American actor Dax Shepard that only by moving 5,000 miles to the US west coast has he been able to break free from his “genetic pain”.
The Duke of Sussex said that he was trying to 'break the cycle' of pain from his childhood.
He added: "When it comes to parenting, if I've experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I'm going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don't pass it on, basically."
"It's a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say 'you know what, that happened to me, I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to you'."
The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise.
It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
