Prince Harry has drawn the ire of a US judge. In a speech he criticized the royal for his open words before the UN.
US judge Samuel Alito (72) mocks Prince Harry (37) because he believes he interfered in American domestic politics. During his speech at the United Nations a few weeks ago, Harry criticized the Supreme Court’s decision between the lines. This previously overturned the so-called “Roe v. Wade” verdict. Since then, every US state has been able to determine its own abortion rules and can also completely prohibit abortion.
“What really hurt me,” said the conservative Supreme Court justice, “was when the Duke of Sussex spoke before the United Nations and compared the decision, whose name must not be named, to the Russian attack on Ukraine seemed.” Alongside Harry, he also criticized “a number of heads of state” who thought it was perfectly fine to comment on American law”.
Prince Harry did not name the Supreme Court decision
Alito delivered his speech on July 21 at a religious freedom conference in Rome, Italy, organized by the law faculty of the US University of Notre Dame from the town of the same name in the US state of Indiana. Now his speech has also been published on YouTube. The dig at Prince Harry follows directly after his speech in memory of Nelson Mandela (1918-2013). Harry, who was accompanied by his wife Duchess Meghan (40) to the UN in New York, said, among other things, that “a global attack on democracy and freedom” is currently taking place.
As an example, he cited the “terrible war in Ukraine, up to and including the revocation of constitutional rights in the United States.” The latter is a clear criticism of the Supreme Court’s decision and thus of the decision that was also made by Judge Samuel Alito.
