Hannity on Tuesday condemned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their reaction to comments Piers Morgan made after their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March
‘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,’ Hannity said during his Tuesday show.
‘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?’
‘Let me get this straight: you’re good with your own government? Because after your interview with Oprah worldwide – and Piers Morgan gives his honest comments about it, has a different opinion about it – you actually go after him?’
In the bombshell interview Prince Harry and his wife gave with Oprah Winfrey in March, they both claimed Meghan experienced racism as a royal and even felt suicidal.
Morgan had said afterward: ‘I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she said, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report.’
DailyMail.com’s editor-at-large left his role as host of ITV’s Good Morning Britain on March 9, after refusing to back down on his comments.
‘You also leave it totally unclear who in your family made the so-called racist remarks about your son, which by the way you have the freedom under the First Amendment to do here, and then you think the First Amendment is ‘bonkers’ and you don’t understand it?’ Hannity said on Tuesday.
‘Harry, it’s time for you to get a grip. Stop the lecturing of all of the rest of us on issues you clearly know nothing about because you’re nothing, frankly, but the Prince of Woke Social Justice Warriors.’
If Harry didn’t understand how the First Amendment worked, ‘maybe it’s time for you to move to a place more compatible with your restrictive ideas’
‘We don’t really need lectures about customs or sacred freedoms, and by the way you’re free to go home’, Hannity said
Hannity added that it is ‘sad’ to watch Prince Harry’s ‘decline’ and his ‘decaying relationship’ with his family.
‘And what’s with the constant sense of entitlement, victimhood? Enjoy your multi-million dollar mansion in the enclave of Montecito, Santa Barbara, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in America,’ Hannity said.
‘Fine, I’m happy for you. I’m sincere. I wish you nothing but the best. Maybe over time you’ll understand our amazing constitution, our great republic where apparently you’re going to make a lot of money.’
During the segment, The Hill columnist Joe Concha – a Fox News contributor – slammed Prince Harry for not being dominant in his relationship with Meghan Markle.
‘I don’t even know if Prince Harry is an alpha male, I don’t think he’s a beta male, he’s more like a lambda male, an omega mu male,’ Concha siad.
‘He’s some sort of male, but he’s definitely not the alpha in that relationship. He seems to now be pushing, as you said, the woke justice sort of message that Meghan Markle does.’
America’s founding principle: The First Amendment
The First Amendment of the US Constitution was established with the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, two years after it was introduced in the 1st United States Congress.
According to History, Antifederalists were not interested in ratifying the Constitution unless there was a way to ensure civic rights. This prompted James Madison to write the majority of what became the Bill of Rights.
The First Amendment protects several basic freedoms in the United States including freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, and the right to petition the government.

The First Amendment states: ‘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.‘
The US Supreme Court often struggles trying to determine what falls under the caliber of ‘offensive speech,’ which is not protected by the First Amendment.
Also not protected in the First Amendment is libel or false and defamatory statements made by the press.
The First Amendment ensures a separation of church and state by declaring that there can be no ‘state’ religion.
The amendment has been tested many times over the years.
Freedom of Religion
Freedom of religion is the first freedom mentioned in the Bill of Rights. Many of the first people who came to America make the journey in order to have religious freedom and they did not want the new government to take this freedom away. The First Amendment allows people to believe and practice whatever religion they want. They can also choose not to follow any religion.
Freedom of Speech
The Founding Fathers did not want the new government to keep people from speaking up about issues and concerns they had with the government. This particular freedom prevents the government from punishing people for expressing their opinions. But it does not protect them from repercussions that may result from voicing their opinions.
Freedom of the Press
This freedom allows people to publish their opinions and information without the government stopping them. It covers all media including newspapers, radio, television and online. The freedom does not cover defamatory statements or plagiarism.
Right to Assemble
People have the right to gather in groups as long as they are peaceful. The government has to allow people to gather on public property. It allows for people to hold protests and rallies against the government calling for change. The government may sometimes become involved for the safety of citizens. Permits may also be required if a large protest is to be held.
Right to Petition the Government
The Founding Fathers wanted a way for people to officially bring issues to the government. The right allows individuals or special interest groups to lobby the government and to sue the government if they feel they have been wronged.
