Piers Morgan slams Prince Harry for branding the First Amendment as ‘bonkers’ and ‘shameful’ attack on Queen

Piers Morgan has slammed Prince Harry as a “spineless self-pitying twerp” after he said the First Amendment was “bonkers”.

'Spineless twerp': Piers Morgan blasts Prince Harry's 'attack on First Amendment'

Piers Morgan has blasted Prince Harry after the Duke of Sussex complained about the US constitution on a podcast — while admitting he doesn’t fully understand it.

The ex-TV presenter, 56, claimed today to MailOnline that Harry is in “very dangerous territory” by bashing the US Constitution while living in America.

Harry has faced a huge fallout after his comments, with some furious Americans telling the royal to “get the hell out”.

Blasting Harry, 36, Piers said: “Harry’s gone from being a courageous war hero to a spineless whiny crybaby who blames his family for all his supposed woes and who like his wife, shamelessly and cynically weaponises issues like mental health and racism to silence critics.

“Harry has lost his country, his dignity and now seems to be losing his mind too as he condemns everything from his grieving grandmother to free speech.

“It’s time His Royal Hypocrite stopped abusing his family, stopped moaning about everything all the bloody time, stopped exploiting his royal titles for huge financial gain, stopped trashing America’s constitution – and grew a pair.”

Talking about life in LA, his family and future plans on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert, Harry 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.”

Dubbing him as the “Prince of Compassion” the presenter lashed out at the Duke by saying he had an “extraordinary amount of entitled arrogance” to question the First Amendment.

Previously Piers has demanded that the couple hand back their titles as they “despise” the royal family.

In the same podcast chat, Harry blasted dad Charles’s parenting and said he moved to California to “break the cycle” of pain for wife Meghan and their kids.

In the sweary podcast chat, he described royal life as a mixture of The Truman Show and being in a zoo.

The royal also revealed he wanted to quit royal duty when he was in his twenties, saying: “I didn’t want this job.”

The Duke opened up about his mental health struggles in a brutally frank, and profanity-laden, chat with US podcast host Dax Shepard.

Harry claimed his father, 72, “suffered” due to his upbringing by the Queen and Prince Philip, then “treated me the way he was treated”.

Piers branded Harry’s outburst as “shameful” and berated him for “publicly hammering his father in public”.

The presenter even claimed the American public were turning on the Prince, after he received an onslaught of abuse on social media.

He went on to call him “disgusting” for condemning the Queen and Prince Philip just weeks after his death.

Harry hailed mum Diana’s “immense impact” but said he didn’t cope with her death until Meghan suggested therapy.

Following Harry’s “disgraceful” swipe at Charles’ and Philip’s parenting skills, royal aides reportedly want the Prince and Meghan to give up their titles.
