A disgusted American journalist went on British TV Tuesday begging the U.K. to “take Prince Harry back.”
Amber Athey told Good Morning Britain that the rogue royal isn’t likely to find his new home as welcoming if he doesn’t clean up his act.
“Let me just start by saying the U.K. is one of the top ten exporters to the U.S. As an American and in the words of former President Donald Trump, ‘you all are not sending your best,'” Athey told GMB.
“I would beg you, please take Prince Harry back. It’s always a good thing to talk about mental health, but the problem is Prince Harry is going about this in the wrong way.
“His podcast interview last week was a disaster. It’s hardly ever a good time to air family grievances publicly, it’s hardly ever healthy or productive.”

After appearing to criticise the way he was raised by Prince Charles and stressing that he wanted to “break the cycle” for his children. Is Prince Harry putting fame before family? pic.twitter.com/BwgR7iqRNv
The prince has been on a relentless campaign to name and shame Royal Family members since appearing on Oprah Winfrey’s March gabfest.
He continued this approach on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast last week.
Harry moaned about his life as a royal, comparing it to a zoo, fired at Kate Middleton on the traditional role of princesses, and appeared to whine about everything, including freedom of speech.
“This is especially bad timing considering he’s just recently repaired his rift with his brother, William, at the funeral for Prince Philip and now he’s essentially lobbed a grenade into that situation,” Athey said.
“Then, of course, there’s the question of the effect on the Queen, who Prince Harry still apparently loves very much, but she must still be devastated by the loss of her husband and Prince Harry has taken this time to attack him rather publicly.”

Harry didn’t win any fans in America when he opined that the First Amendment (which includes a wide array of freedoms but specifically freedom of speech) was “bonkers.”
In the same interview, he hammered his father, Prince Charles, and by extension the Queen, when he claimed he wanted to “break the cycle” of pain.
