LONDON: A teenager who reportedly called Prince Harry a "race traitor" and suggested that he should be shot after his marriage to Meghan Markle has been jailed for four years under UK terrorism laws.
Michal Szewczuk, 19, posted extremist material including an image of the Prince Harry with a gun to his head on a blood-spattered background, the UK news agency reported.
The post was shared in August last year, just a few months after the prince married the former actress, included the phrase "See Ya Later Race Traitor".
He was sentenced at the Old Bailey in London Tuesday, after pleading guilty to two counts of encouraging terrorism and five accounts of possessing terrorist material.
