The Commonwealth of Nations is, for all intents and purposes, the successor to the British Empire. It comprises over 50 nations across all continents and is a promoter for world peace and prosperity. The head of the Commonwealth is Queen Elizabeth II, which, to apply to be a member, you have to recognize. So, don't expect the USA to be joining anytime soon!

Our hero is back in this episode where he takes on the Bonkers First Amendment on Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast and incites the wrath of his adopted country's citizens. Prince Harry has spoken out again and got roundly shouted down by his critics on both sides of the pond. This time, he referred to the US First Amendment as 'Bonkers'. A little bit of a stretch to call Free Speech 'Bonkers' or do you think the Duke of Sussex is right?
