Criticism of her silence on abortion law in the United States

Over the past few days, one topic in particular has dominated the media around the world: on Friday, June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the fundamental right to abortion almost 50 years later. People clearly show their dissatisfaction in the struggles and many celebrities comment on the verdict. The only one who is expected by many is quiet: Duchess Megan, 40.

It is surprising that she and her husband Prince Harry, 37, have not yet commented on this, as they have published numerous statements on various occasions in the past on their “Archive Foundation” website. For example, there is a statement of support for Ukraine after the February 22 Russian invasion.

In addition, Duchess Megan argued in the past for paid parental leave, contrary to state rule that she should not be actively involved in politics, and even wrote an open letter to the US Congress. An act that received harsh criticism from a mother of two.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that abortion can be banned in at least 24 states. The fact that the American did not comment on this annoys his comrades. A Twitter user expressed his anger at an article describing a charity event in Sussex. “Please … show me all of Archivewell’s charity events. Show me what the great human rights activist Megan Markle did for Roe v. Wade,” he was quoted as saying by the British “Express”.

The news site “Geo News” reports that Sussex has not yet touched on the burning issue. “One reason they are quiet is because they do not want to incur the wrath of the royal family,” it said. “However, they hope their fans will not comment publicly on the verdict, but will add their thoughts on the matter in one of their future media contacts.”

Supporters of Sussex are still hopeful that Duchess Megan and Prince Harry, who will enjoy greater independence after leaving the upper echelons of the royal family and emigrating to the United States, will share their views on the verdict. Many stars have already done this, including Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid, Mark Rufallo and Dua Lipa. So you will be in good company.
