Duchess Meghan: Ruth Bader Ginsburg was her role model since childhood

With the death of US judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Duchess Meghan also lost a role model and a great source of inspiration.

After numerous stars and politicians have already commented on the death of Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Duchess Meghan (39, "Suits") has now also expressed her grief with reverent and appealing words. Bader Ginsburg, who was just the second woman to make it to the highest court in the United States, was "a great inspiration for the Duchess since (she) was a little girl." This emerges from the statement that Prince Harry's wife (36) sent to the US site "People".

Bader Ginsburg displayed a progressive, liberal attitude throughout her life. For example, on topics such as abortion, immigration, the health system or same-sex marriage. "Thanks to a legacy that is as incomparable as it is indelible, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will forever be known as a brilliant woman, a courageous lawyer and a person with deep convictions," said Duchess Meghan.

Like the Duchess of Sussex, Bader Ginsburg was also a vehement critic of incumbent US President Donald Trump (74). Shortly before her death, she is said to have said: "My greatest wish is that I will only be replaced when we have a new president in office." Her wish was not granted – Ruth Bader Ginsburg succumbed to cancer last Friday (September 18) at the age of 87.
