PRINCE Harry has started using American slang but says he is not a fan of the US Bill of Rights' protection of freedom of speech and press calling it "bonkers".

The Duke described the trauma experienced from seeing a road accident on the "highway".

He told the podcast: "You notice I didn't say motorway, I really am becoming American."

But the prince could find himself less welcomed by his hosts after having his say about the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The First Amendment protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

But Prince Harry, an anti-press campaigner, said: "I have so much I want to say about the First Amendment. I still don't understand it but it is bonkers."

Last October Harry stunned viewers after slipping into American slang during a Time100 Talks webchat after substituting the word 'bonnet' for 'hood'.

It is also believed that Archie, two, who moved with his parents to California before his first birthday has an American accent.

'RABID FEEDING FRENZY'

Meghan is also expecting a daughter this summer, with the family now settling in to their new life in California.

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

Harry claims he feels “more free” since leaving the UK but claims the press in Los Angeles is a “rabid feeding frenzy”.

He said: “Living here now I can actually lift my head and actually I feel different, my shoulders have dropped, so has hers, you can walk around feeling a little bit more free.”

The prince was speaking out to promote his mental health documentary The Me You Can’t See with Oprah Winfrey.

Harry also took aim at his father Charles’s parenting skills and vowed to break the cycle of “pain and suffering” with his own children.

The latest admissions come two months after Harry attacked Charles in the Oprah interview.

He claimed his father was “trapped” in the Royal Family and alleged he had been “literally cut off financially”.

The Queen has ordered Charles and Harry’s brother William to investigate the Sussexes’ claims, which include a family member being racist.

Clarence House was approached for comment.
