On Tuesday night, Hannity branded Harry a "royal pain" following the remarks.

He said: “So I got a lot of reaction to comments I made last night about Harry. Now we don’t need Harry coming from England to lecture us on our ‘bonkers’ first amendment that he can’t understand.

'You think censorship and suppression of thought is a good thing? You want the government to be able to control what people are allowed to think, believe and say?"

Hannity also criticized Harry for not naming the member of the that allegedly made racist remarks about his son Archie.

Watters also suggested that the Duke should "see a shrink" and compared him to  coronavirus chief

"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 capitalize or exploit what's not said rather than uphold what is said."

What is the First Amendment?

The First Amendment is one of ten amendments to the Constitution that were adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the Bill of Rights.

This is a written document protecting civil liberties under US law.

The First Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

While the First Amendment protects freedoms of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition, other amendments under the Bill of Rights dealt with the protection of other American values.

These include the Second Amendment right to bear arms and the Sixth Amendment right to a trial by jury.

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

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

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

Weeks after the bombshell interview with Oprah, Harry opened up about their  relationship.

He said on the Armchair Expert podcast: “I verbalise it, which is, ‘Isn’t life about breaking the cycle’?

"There’s no blame, I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody.

“But certainly when it comes to parenting, if I have experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering perhaps my father or my parents suffered, I’m gonna make sure that I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on, basically.

“There is a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway. As parents we should be doing the most that we can to say, ‘You know what, that happened to me, I’m gonna make sure that’s not going to happen to you'.”
