Meghan vs Prince Harry
-
No, no, no. Not the Kardashian Meghan.
Right-wing political commentator Meghan McCain has criticized Prince Harry over his speech at the United Nations on Monday commemorating Nelson Mandela International Day, which she has called "wildly insulting" to the American people.
Speaking to the UN general assembly in New York, Harry referenced climate change and how it is "wreaking havoc on our planet," as well as the weaponization of "lies and disinformation at the expense of the many."
One of the most potent statements made during his speech was a comparison between the overturning of constitutional rights in the U.S. and the war in Ukraine.
"From the horrific war in Ukraine to the rolling back of constitutional rights here in the United States, we are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom—the cause of Mandela's life," he said.
Despite not mentioning it by name, Harry's comments follow the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in June, his thoughts on which were made clear by wife, Meghan Markle, in a conversation with leading feminist Gloria Steinem that was published by Vogue.
Meghan described Harry's reaction to the Supreme Court's ruling as "guttural" after calling him a "feminist too."
For McCain, Harry's grouping of a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court and the war in Ukraine as examples of assaults on democracy and freedom was a condemnation of the country in which he has chosen to live.
