Pilot gives emotional speech on his final flight after 43 years of service

It’s not often that we meet people who have been doing the same job their entire life. It does take a lot of commitment and dedication to be doing something for over 40 years, doesn’t it?

A video of a pilot’s farewell speech to his passengers is so heart-melting that it has been seen over 18 million times on TikTok only. It has been recently shared by author and former American athlete Lewis Howes after it was shared on YouTube in January of last year.

Before he takes the Delta Airlines passenger on the final flight of his life, Captain Conrad turns to them and says: “Before I go, I just want to ask you a quick question. Can I see a show of hands, how many people here were born before 1976?”

As a number of hands go up, the pilot says jokingly: “Oh we got a lot of old people on this plane. I’m disappointed.” He then continues his speech explaining how his career started back in 1976 with his first training flight in the Air Force, at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. “[And] 43 years later, and eight different aeroplanes, and about 10,000-12,000 flights and 25,000 hours of flying,” he says, “I’m glad to have you here on my last flight.”

The passengers cheer him with a huge round of applause as he admits that he feels emotional because it is hard to hang up after so much time.

“Anyway, in case you’re wondering if we’re going to have a good flight, we are, because I have my wife here,” he adds, to chuckles from passengers, “so this is probably going to be the safest flight you’ve ever been on”.

What a touching moment. We wish Captain Conrad a happy retirement.

Divorced people on Reddit share the final straw in calling their marriage quits

It certainly takes a lot of courage and determination to decide a marriage is over. Despite the vows and the promise “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death,” things get though at times, and not many are willing or have the strength to continue being part of what looks like a relationship with no future. And yes, it is oftentimes better to put a stop rather than struggle and waste your life.

One Reddit user asked divorced redditors to share what the final straw was. The answers? Take a look at some of them below.

Cheating

Reddit user Beagle_Bailey wrote:

My husband was cheating. I found out, and instead of immediately dumping his ass, I said, Let’s try to work this out, but you have to dump the girlfriend. His response: “But what if you and me don’t work out?”…And THAT was the final straw.

She Took Everything

broiled shared:

Probably when I returned home and found all the furniture, food and my wife missing. Another hint was the empty bank account.

She Left a Note

somethrows added:

I came home from work. There was a note on the table. She had dropped our two kids off at her grandparents, told them she was going to the mall, and left the country.

“I Could Never Be Anything She Needed”

scabbymonkey explained:

After 20yrs of marriage I realized that I could never be anything she needed. I wasn’t spiritual enough, didn’t make enough money even with working two full time jobs ( > 120K a year), didn’t know Jesus like she did and that every bad emotion was caused by something I either did do or didn’t do. I grew up with a mom that did this and it was frightening to see that I recreated my childhood to the tee.

Mean to My Son

scifiwoman wrote:

Him being cruel to my son (not his son, my son from a previous marriage).That’s something you can’t accept.

Caught In The Act

Written by Raven2002:

I came home early from work because of a migraine. Found him in bed with my best friend. Oddly, I was more hurt by her behavior than his. Broomed them both that day.

No Bedside Manner

fifyi shared:

I had been in hospital the night before and they had planned to do surgery for suspected appendicitis. It turned out not to be so acute so the surgery was cancelled and I was discharged and instructed to rest. By that morning, I hadn’t eaten for almost two days. Husband comes to the hospital to pick me up. He sat in the car about a block away with the engine running waiting for me to walk to where he was. He called his work to say he was taking the day off to look after me. In reality, he spent the day in bed or playing PC games. There was no food in the house and he refused to go grocery shopping because that was my job. By now I’m super hungry and still in pain from the niggling appendix. I asked if he could sort dinner for us. He pretty much picked a fight with me over that. I said I didn’t need this in my life and he responded, “Well we can get a divorce if you want!” I said, “Yes please. I’ve actually been thinking about that for a while.”

Apparently Not for Better or Worse

matt_may added:

I’ve mentioned it before. She found out I was going blind after three years of marriage and that sorta broke what was left of a failing relationship. She was gone three months later.

…In Australia

binary10110 wrote:

We had our problems, but the final straw was probably when she slept with some other guy. In Australia. Using my money to buy the air tickets. She also tried to make me pay for the divorce.

“They’re Swingers”

WendyWasteful added:

I was at home with our newborn and he didn’t come home one weekend. He finally came home at about 3 am on Monday and promptly passed out without saying anything. I checked his phone ( I know, I know) and there were pictures of his best friends girlfriend on his phone. He claimed it was ok to spend time with her and get pictures from her because she and her boyfriend were swingers. He doesn’t know that it’s not how that works. In a moment of rage I forwarded the pictures to his best friend. I found out they were not swingers when the guy got angry about the pictures and smashed the windshield of his girlfriends car. I took the kids the next day and moved out.

Dangerous Situation

Budhound1968881 explained:

He came running at me to push me down the stairs, while he was holding our baby. Still to this day, claims it wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t made him so mad.

She Wouldn’t Listen

daddy_oz shared:

She made someone else more important than me in our relationship. Despite being told by me, her family, my family and a relationship counselor she thought she was doing the right thing and that I would just hang around while she had her fun.The night I told her it was over she had plenty of reasons why she was acting the way she was and why she deserved to keep him as a friend. This is nearly 2 years ago now. The other guy lasted a couple of months after we split. She is now trying to justify herself by jumping from bed to bed with whoever she can.

The Child’s Perspective

marybowman wrote:

When his abuse began affecting the way my son viewed abuse. After my ex punched me in the face, my son said, “well, it’s not like he ever beat the crap out of you.” So done.

Clearly Cheating

Blaaamo added:

When I found an abortion follow up appointment letter. We hadn’t had sex in over a year.

Religion

cdc194 shared:

She wasn’t religious when we met, 10 years later she told me I was going to hell for believing in dinosaurs.

Hero UPS driver jumps into icy pond to save a drowning dog

By

Severe and harsh weather conditions might be the reason for us to opt for staying in all day with a cup of coffee and a good book by our side, but that’s definitely something our dogs wouldn’t want us to do. No matter the season, they always feel the urge to get outside for a long walk or a round of run around.

However, it’s not that unusual for our four-legged buddies to get into trouble because of their crave to go out in the cold.

They might be really smart, but yet, many times they are not aware of the dangers around them, such as those of walking on thin ice. Sadly, the number of dogs that end up inside the frozen ponds and lakes is not that small. When this happens, they not only put their own life in danger, but that of those who do their best to save them too.

Source: WITF

The recent story of a dog experiencing this sort of accident is that of Sadie from Bozeman, Montana. As she got trapped inside the cold water, it was just a matter of time when she was going to drown or freeze to death before she was rescued. A man in a rowboat was struggling to get her out, but to no avail.

That’s when the brave UPS driver Ryan Arens heard the loud howling and screaming. He was on the job, but still decided to check where the crying was coming from and what was going on. He got back into his vehicle and drove around the place. The moment he noticed the boat, he didn’t hesitate to step in and help.

“I could see the dog trapped about 10-15 feet off of shore, with ice all around it,” Arens said, according to the Great Falls Tribune. “I stripped to my boxers and got the guy out of the boat.”

“Then I slid the boat out onto the ice, using it to distribute my weight. I shimmed out to where the ice was thin.”

It was obvious poor Sadie wouldn’t hold on much longer so as she started going under, Arens broke through the ice.

“I knew someone had to get to her,” he later explained. “She wasn’t going to make it.”

He decided to ignore the warnings and started swimming towards the dog. Luckily, he managed to grab her and get her out to the edge of the deep pond.

“We took the dog inside the older guy’s house and got in the shower together to warm up,” Arens said.

He could have waited for the animal control to react but he was certain that by the time they would arrive Sadie could be dead.

The world needs more people like him ❤ PETA is awarding this UPS driver a Compassionate Action Award for rescuing a dog…

Posted by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) on Wednesday, 23 January 2019

After the amazing and risky rescue, Arens got back to delivering the rest of the packages, as though he didn’t put his life on the line that day.

The best thing is that after some time Arens was about to deliver Sadie’s owner a package which meant he was going to reunite with her again. The encounter was really sweet.

“She was freaking out, and when he let her out she ran to me. She must have remembered me. It sure made me feel good.”

“This dog had a whole lot of life left in her, and I’m really glad I was able to act when I did. She’s a sweetheart.”

“Animals are my weakness,” Arens said. “It was the highlight of my 14-year UPS career.”

Meet Charlie Bear!! He’s the sunshine on my cloudy days at work #dogsofUPS

This story is just another proof that not all heroes wear capes. To be honest, not many people in Aren’s situation would react the same way. But this amazing man knows that no matter how big or small, every life matters and is worth saving. Thank you Ryan Arens.

13-year-old girl all covered in bruises after she was beaten and bullied by a classmate during PE class

By

For a young child, or any person in general, to experience bullying means for their self-confidence and life to change a great deal, sometimes forever. The sad reality is that some people never get to overcome the fear from being a victim of bullying.

Although we are all very well aware of the negative impact and the consequences of this devastating phenomenon, it looks like the institutions where it takes place the most, the schools, don’t do a lot in order to prevent it from taking place.

Just recently, the photos of a 13-year-old girl who got attacked by a schoolmate during a PE lesson were shared online and people were left furious.

The photos show seventh grader Charlee Funes covered in bruises after she was beaten by her classmate. “She took her chest on my back and pushed me down,” Charlee, who attends Gardner Grade School in Grundy County, in Illinois, told 6 ABC News of the incident.

The photos were only shared by Charlee’s brother after the school refused to do address the issue.

“I was told the girl would receive two days’ suspension. And no charges would be filed against the girl because it was her first offense,” Kim Funes, Charlee’s mother, told 6 ABC News. “I taught my kids to do unto others as they want to be done unto them,” she added.

A lot of people reacted to the story and many wondered why Kim didn’t take matters in her own hands. They believed she should confront the bully’s mom and even smack her. But Kim said that she doesn’t believe she should be answering to violence with violence. “But two wrongs don’t make a right. We have to do what’s right,” she said.

After the incident gathered attention, the school district superintendent sent a statement to families assuring them that the students’ safety is their number one priority.

“In response to the incident, the District immediately began an investigation. Throughout the investigation, the District worked collaboratively with law enforcement, and took immediate action in response to the student who committed the misconduct.

“While the District is unable to share the details of the investigation and the actions taken to respond to the misconduct due to student confidentiality and privacy laws, the District takes all incidents of misconduct seriously and our student’s safety is always our first priority.”

Charlee hasn’t been to school after she was bullied and beaten because she’s afraid. She, however, is happy she has her family’s support.

We truly hope bullying will not be longer taking place in schools, or anywhere else.

Mom of Quadruplets posts before-and-after photos of her belly to shows how amazing the female body is

From the moment they are told they are carrying a baby until the moment the little bundle of joy is welcomed into the world, most moms have mixed emotions regarding the journey of nine months that most refer to as the best period of a woman’s life. No matter how happy they are, the question of whether everything was going to be fine until they hold their baby in their arms is always present, and this is especially true if the mother-to-be experienced a miscarriage before.

When their son Carson was born, parents Syman and Lindsay Hay from New Jersey were over the moon. But they always knew they wanted a big family so the thought of having more kids was still there.

However, things didn’t go as planned as Lindsay went through several miscarriages and they were told she had “poor egg quality” which meant conceiving naturally would be almost impossible.

WEEK 26 QUAD BUMPDATE! Except I’m actually 26+5 in this photo and sharing at the 27 week mark which you’ll also get an update on in a few days. If you want a sneak peek at what’s going on at week 27, have a look at my story. 🙈 But back to week 26, this was the week I found myself at the hospital for abdominal cramping that just turned out to be… Constipation. So there’s that. You’re welcome. At this point my body seems to be handling the pregnancy well aside from the 500 stretch marks that have appeared out of no where and increased pelvic pressure. There’s also the modest 49 pounds I’ve already gained or the fact that at 26+5 I’m measuring FIFTY WEEKS. Nbd. Babies are all looking great, developing on track, and baby d’s fluid that was once a bit excessive is now back in perfect range. Babies are all SUPER reactive and responsive to me poking at them. It’s truly incredible to feel 4 humans moving at one time. So grateful we have made it this far and am counting every single day as a major win. Trimester 3, I’m comin for ya. 💛 . . . . . #growbabiesgrow #quadruplets #quadmom #quadrupletsofinstagram #quadrupletpregnancy #highriskpregnancy #incompetentcervix #cerclage #emergencycerclage #preventativecerclage #higherordermultiples #rainbowbabies #hopeafterloss #wordsofaffirmation #bumpwatch #secondtrimester #pregnancyupdate #26weeks #26weekspregnant #stretchmarks #somanystretchmarks #viability #summerbabies #momofmultiples #momof5 #expecting #infertility #infertilityawareness #haysfordays #thehayquads

Doctors suggested they should try a treatment with an injectable hormone called Follistim before they turn to IVF. This gave them hope and they decided to give this treatment a go.

“The theory behind the drugs was that if I produced more than one egg per cycle, I’d catch a good one faster. We had to try this, plus timed intercourse six times, before moving on to IVF,” Lindsay told BuzzFeed.

27 WEEK QUAD BUMPDATE! This isn’t my norm update pic since I’ve been camping out at the hospital but I needed to capture the belly in all it’s glory and give everyone an update! — And tomorrow is already week 28!!! Since I had the episode of contractions last weekend they’ve been keeping me under observation and continuing to give me procardia to keep things calm. So far so good and if things continue this way for the rest of the day, I get to go home TOMORROW! Hospital life isn’t fun but I’ve had some really amazing nurses taking care of me and keeping me company. Plus I had a huge outing to the first floor for my growth scan (27 + 5) and the babies look so good! Baby A- 3 lbs. 2 oz, Baby B- 2 lbs. 6 oz., Baby C- 3 lbs. 0 oz., Baby D- 2 lbs. 13 oz.) My face is starting to swell and I’m not loving how I’m looking but these weights are everything to me and makes it all 1000% worth it. For a small person I seem to make some decent sized babies!! My spirits are good and every day my rockstar hubby @syman_1 has been bringing Carson to come see me and we push the hospital beds together so we can have dinner and watch a movie together. The hardest part of this week has definitely been being away from them and I’ve cried a bunch but we’re doing it. Can’t believe today is our last holiday as a party of 3 AND LAST DAY IN THE 2ND TRIMESTER! 🇺🇸❤️ . . . #growbabiesgrow #quadruplets #quadmom #quadrupletsofinstagram #quadrupletpregnancy #highriskpregnancy #incompetentcervix #cerclage #emergencycerclage #preventativecerclage #higherordermultiples #rainbowbabies #hopeafterloss #bumpwatch #secondtrimester #hellotrimester3 #pregnancyupdate #27weeks #27weekspregnant #stretchmarks #somanystretchmarks #viability #summerbabies #momofmultiples #momof5 #expecting #infertility #infertilityawareness #haysfordays #thehayquads

To their surprise and delight, this treatment gave them what they expected for so long, and so much more than the baby they dreamed of. Lindsay was pregnant with quadruplets, which happens once in 700,000 pregnancies.

This was awesome news, but knowing she lost babies before, both Lindsay and her husband feared for the life of the four babies she was now carrying.

“I was in a lot of denial because I was told I had poor egg quality, and I just didn’t believe it. My husband was silent and white as a ghost,” Lindsay said.

23 WEEK QUAD BUMPDATE! Interrupting my baby shower spam for a super late update. I’m actually 23 weeks and 5 days today so some of my “symptoms” are going to overlap with my 24 week update in a few days. Spoiler alert: I have a stretch mark. Actually make that three. While I know what my body is doing is incredible, I’m not ready for the sentimental comments just yet. I am having a vain moment and grieving my “perfect” stomach, ok? 🙈There was a time hubby and me wondered if I’d ever have a pregnant bump again though so I truly am grateful and embracing it, but sometimes it’s hard and I’m just keeping it real. This week we had my first cervix check post cerclage and it’s actually lengthened which is a huge relief. Babies are developing right on track, my blood pressure is great, and I’m up 35 pounds! Can’t wait to hit viability (!!!) in just two short days and check on my sweet babes again next week.

Luckily, each of the ultrasounds showed the little babies were developing normally.

“You carry the pain of miscarriage with you wherever you go, and even after being on the other side with my rainbow babies here, it still hurts. I don’t think I’ll ever fully heal. It definitely made me stronger, though, and gave me new perspective and appreciation for just how big of a miracle these babies and all babies really are,” this mom-to-be said.

The pregnancy wasn’t an easy one, however, and Lindsay spoke of her fears, her anxiousness, and the uncertainty she felt all the way. On top of that, she experienced fatigues and nausea.

At 20 weeks into her pregnancy, doctors told Lindsay how her cervix was getting thin and that she had to take a lot of rest and reduce her movements. When she reached 30 weeks and 4 days, doctors told her it was the time for her bundles of joy to be delivered.

On Tuesday, July 23rd, we finally met our four little loves that I fought so hard to get here! The birth was seriously the most incredible experience of my life and I was on the biggest adrenaline high imaginable. The c section went perfectly and we even had a clear drape so that once the handy work of the doctors was over we were able to watch the babies being pulled out and delivered. They all came out kicking and screaming and breathing on their own, and their cries alone made it all worth it. This is the first baby I got to see up close and personal but we aren’t quite sure who is who since they all pretty much look identical. All blonde and delicious even if it’s hard to tell with their little tubes! But without further ado, let us introduce you to our babies. 💛 Ps, while I can’t get to every message right now just know we are so appreciative of all your kindness and support along this journey! We love you! #quadruplets #thehayquads

This brave mother gave birth via c-section and welcomed four healthy babies into the world. Because they were tiny, the quadruplets had to spend around seven weeks in the NICU after which they headed home to be around their big brother and their caring mommy and daddy.

Lindsay documented her incredible journey with a lot of photos of her huge belly and kept her Instagram followers updated. Many commented that it really takes a strong personality to give birth to four babies all at once and loved how Lindsay spoke of her pregnancy and their children.

Her fans were eager to see how life is like with five children in the house, but Lindsay couldn’t really post every day because she had her hands full. “I rarely get a minute to myself. I’m constantly in motion and have learned how to move quickly and multitask. I sleep less. I worry more. But I will say this: The expression ‘full hands, fuller hearts’ has never resonated with me more. I am so overjoyed with happiness and fulfillment, and every day I wake up wondering how I got so lucky. I have everything I prayed for and more. We are so blessed,” she wrote.

What was really special about this mother is that she breastfed all of her children. It does sound like a lot of work, but she wanted to form that special bond with each of them. The Hays are a blessed family and we wish them all the best in the years to come.

Wife in coma hears husband whisper ‘you’re a fighter’ as plug is pulled

By

This is the amazing story of a mother and a wife from Arizona named Lyndee. One day, as this 45-year-old woman’s son entered the house, he saw her helplessly laying on the floor.

Seeing his mother in such state terrified him very much, but he pulled himself together and called 911. Lyndee was quickly rushed to hospital where she stayed for 12 days.

The medics were unable to identify the reason for Lyndee’s condition. And as her husband Steve, her daughter Amanda, and her son Steven prayed for a miracle, doctors said there was nothing that could be done and advised the family to turn off her life support.

Hearing this, her family decided to do what they were told. They also agreed for Lyndee’s organs to be donated afterwards as she always said she wanted to be an organ donor.

“My family knows I am an avid organ donor so when my organs started to fail, they made the decision — it was time to make that decision,” Lyndee would later explain.

Family members visited Lyndee to say that final goodbye to the amazing woman that she has always been. But, no one knew that Lyndee wasn’t brain dead as everyone believed. She could hear every word her loved ones said to her during the time she was in coma.

The phenomenon of being unable to move and react, but being able to hear is known as being “locked in,” and Lyndee was experiencing it firsthand.

“I remember people talking to me,” Lyndee recalled. “I remember when people came to visit, my niece reading to me.”

When the time came for Lyndee’s husband to say goodbye, he said, “You’re a fighter. I need you to fight.”

This made Lyndee even more determined to find the strength to tell everyone that she was still there.

“In my head, it was very clear what I was saying, but it wasn’t to them,” she explained.

Then, at one moment, she whispered, “I’m a fighter.”

Both her family and the doctors were left in complete shock. Steve even told the doctors how they made a huge mistake as his wife did everything they said she wouldn’t do ever again. She woke up, and spoke.

Amanda recalled the moment she found out her mother was alive. “I looked at her, and she just says, ‘Hi,’ and I just fell to my knees,” she said.

The road to full recovery was a long and a tough one as Lyndee had to learn how to walk and feed herself again. She also experienced a number of health issues along the way and underwent four surgeries.

“They released me with home healthcare to continue learning everything,” she said.

Now, four years after she fell in coma, Lyndee Brown Pellettiere-Swapp still has no answer of why she fell unconscious that day. She doesn’t even know how she woke up from the coma. But what’s important is that she’s doing great now.

She wants others to hear her story and know that “Just because you’re not conscious doesn’t mean you can’t hear.”

“So you should talk to your loved ones if you are in that situation. They hear you,” she told CBS 5 Arizona.

Her story teaches us that we should never take things for granted and we should always make sure we tell our family and friends how much we love them as life can turn for the worse when we least expect that.

“Keep your family close and don’t let them go. I don’t take for granted that I get to come home and kiss my mom,” Lyndee’s son Steven said.

“Every day I come home from work, seeing her and talking to her,” Steven continued.

Queen Elizabeth “scolded” Harry for using offensive language a day prior to his wedding

By

Harry and Meghan marked their third wedding anniversary by announcing they were building its next Community Relief Center in India in partnership with World Central Kitchen through their Archewell Foundation.

They didn’t celebrate big because Meghan is heavily pregnant with the couple’s second child, a baby girl due this summer.

However, we can’t help but think back of what was one of the most watched wedding ceelbrations ever. The beautiful ceremony of tying the knot between Harry and Meghan took place on on May 19, 2018. Among the guests were a lot of celebrities such as George Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Serena Williams, James Corden, and Oprah Winfrey. Meghan wore a wedding dress designed by Givenchy’s then-creative director, Clare Waight Keller, and the stunning Queen Mary’s bandeau tiara which belonged to the Queen’s grandmother, Queen Marry.

News on an incident which took place a day prior to the royal wedding involving the tiara has emerged recently.

A royal source revealed that Meghan requested from one of the Queen’s closest aides and friends, Angela Kelly, to give her the tiara to try on. Angela, who is a fashion designer and dressmaker who has served Queen Elizabeth for over 20 years, refused to allow an access to the tiara at such a short notice. It has been reported by The Mirror that Angela said how Meghan and Harry didn’t follow the royal protocol and added: “I’m very sorry, that’s not how it works. There’s protocol in place over these jewels. They’re kept under very tight lock and key. You can’t turn up and demand to have the tiara just because your hairdresser happens to be in town.”

Allegedly, Harry wasn’t happy with the answer and used rude language. The Queen was alerted of “the incident” and requested a meeting with her grandson. It was said by the royal source that she “scolded” him for behaving in such a rude manner and using “bad language.”

We can’t be sure if the royal source is telling the truth or not. The fact is that the royal family is now experiencing a “turmoil” and trying to reconcile their differences after the Sussexes stepped down from their royal duties, left Britain, and accused the Royals of many things, including racism.

“You’re free to go home:” Fox host Sean Hannity slams Prince Harry over First Amendment comments

By

The infamous Oprah interview placed the Sussexes under the spotlight and their work and life in America is now number one discussed topic, especially because they are giving even more interviews and speak publicly of their life as Royals and how everything changed after they left Britain.

Recently, both Harry and Meghan were part of a television fundraiser VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World.

Harry, however, seems to be more present in the media, which he tends to slam whenever he gets an opportunity. Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast, Harry touched on a lot of topics. Among the rest, he spoke of his upbringing and said how his father, Prince Charles, handed down a “cycle” of “genetic pain and suffering” and how he wants to break that cycle.

“I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody. But certainly when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I’m going to make sure that I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on basically,” Harry said.

“There’s a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway, as parents we should be doing the most that we can to try and say ‘you know what that happened to me, I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.’”

Harry continued: “I never saw it, I never knew about it, and then suddenly I started to piece it all together and go OK so this where he went to school, this is what happened.

“I know this bit about his life, I also know that’s connected to his parents. So that means that he’s treating me the way that he was treated. Which means how can I change that for my own kids?”

He explained how he wanted to leave the royal life when he was in his twenties and admitted he started therapy.

Harry also said that he feels more free now that he lives in the States but described America’s First Amendment as “bonkers” and added that you can find a loophole in anything. “I believe we live in an age now where you’ve got certain elements of the media redefining to us what privacy means. There’s a massive conflict of interest,” Harry said.

This didn’t make Fox host Sean Hannity happy so he decided to teach Prince Harry a lesson. During his lengthy monologue, Hannity said:

“I have a message for Harry, who is now attacking one of America’s most sacred rights, the freedom of speech under our First Amendment. Harry, we really don’t need you coming from England to give us lectures on the First Amendment.

“And if he can’t understand the importance of free expression and the importance of constitutional principles that allow for a free exchange of ideas and ideals and opinions that have made America the greatest country on Earth. Maybe it’s time for you to move to a place more compatible with your restrictive ideas.”

Source: Youtube/FoxNews

The host added that it was the amendment that actually allowed Harry to trash his family during the Oprah interview and other occasions.

“We don’t really need lectures about customs or sacred freedoms,” Hannity continued. 

“And by the way, you’re free to go home, make amends at the palace with the people that you and your wife hurt deeply. And by the way, you’re enjoying the freedoms protected under the First Amendment as you’re living in America and an expensive place. Let not your heart be troubled.”
