London (CNN)A far-right teenager who reportedly branded Prince Harry a "race traitor" and suggested he should be shot after his marriage to Meghan Markle has been jailed in Britain for four years and three months.

Michal Szewczuk, 19, posted extremist material including an image of the prince with a gun to his head on a blood-spattered background, the UK Press Association (PA) news agency reported.

Published months after Harry's wedding to Meghan, whose mother is African-American, the image also featured a swastika and the phrase: "See Ya Later Race Traitor."

If one reads what they are accused of, it seems to be a lot more than just calling the Prince a "race-traitor", I'd say the messages were threatening.  I don't think 4-years though, sounds fair.

@TomSea

VERY misleading headline. He was jailed for saying Prince Harry should be shot. The Brits take that sort of thing seriously,and try to discourage it with active prison time. If he had just ranted about the Prince being a "race traitor" he would still be walking the streets today.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
