Schiffer thinks that the couple’s brand “entertainment” because of their deals with Spotify and Netflix. According to him, Prince Harry’s account about the U.S Constitution could hurt his brand.
“It’s lethally stupid because it only cuts off his base further,” he told Express.
Schiffer highlights an important thing one would is to slice off large swathes of millions of people who can be their potential buyers or sponsors. However, he felt that Prince Harry did that with his controversial comments.
While living in California with Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast Prince Harry discoursed the interruptions of the paparazzi. During their conversation, Prince Harry touched the First Amendment route and confessed that he has no idea of it because it’s a vast subject and he is in the U.S. for a short period.
“I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers,” he later added as quoted by Today.
The mixed opinions were seen about Prince Harry’s remarks about the First Amendment on Twitter. Many slammed him but several also supported the duke.
One mocked by saying it was the same amendment that gave him the right of free speech and asked him to shut up.
Meanwhile, another defended Prince Harry citing American Professor Scott Lucas who listened to the podcast and concluded that the duke has a point with his remarks.
