Prince Harry is facing a backlash in the US after calling their First Amendment "bonkers" while admitting that he doesn't understand it.
The Duke of Sussex had appeared on controversial podcast Armchair Expert where he spoke out about the country he and wife Meghan Markle have called home for the last year.
The First Amendment to the US constitution protects free speech, free press, the right to assemble and the right to petition the Government.
But Prince Harry's comments were not well received by many across the pond.
Speaking on the podcast 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."
American columnist Meghan McCain said: "We fought a war in 1776 so we don’t have to care what you say or think.
"That being said, you have chosen to seek refuge from your homeland here and thrive because all of what our country has to offer and one of the biggest things is the 1st amendment - show some utter respect."
While American TV host Laura Ingraham tweeted: "Don't let the door knob hit you, Windsor."
And Michael Milutis added: "He's got so much to say, and he's going to be allowed to say it, precisely because of the first amendment."
Brexiteer and Donald Trump ally Nigel Farage tweeted: "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."
During the podcast the Duke of Sussex also 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'."
