Prince Harry has faced open mockery from a prominent legal figure in the United States over his criticism of a decision allowing American states to ban abortions.
Court Justice Samuel Alito dismissed the criticism from Harry and other prominent figures, including Boris Johnson, regarding last month’s ruling that overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision.
During a recent speech at the United Nations, Harry referred to the abortion ruling, describing 2022 as a painful year in a painful decade.
He highlighted the war in Ukraine and the erosion of constitutional rights in the United States, stating that we are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom, echoing the cause championed by Nelson Mandela.
Harry’s comments came shortly after Vogue published a conversation between journalist Jessica Yellen, Meghan Markle, and feminist Gloria Steinem, discussing the changes to abortion rights brought about by the court ruling.
Meghan revealed that she had discussed the overturning of Roe v. Wade with Harry, and both expressed their guttural reaction to the news.
They also urged people to channel their fear into action in response to the ruling.
When asked if the court’s decision could be seen as a warning sign for groups fighting for rights in the United States, Meghan responded with a resounding “absolutely.”
She pointed to Justice Thomas’s concurring opinion as a blueprint for reversing rights.
The Duke of Sussex’s remarks have not gone unnoticed, with Court Justice Samuel Alito dismissing his criticism and mocking his involvement in US politics.
Alito defended his ruling and took aim at Harry’s comments, emphasizing that the decision to allow states to ban abortions was based on legal foundations.
This development raises questions about the impact of Harry’s interference in US politics on the royal family.
Will it bring more disaster or lead to unforeseen consequences?
