Prince Harry spoke in length about the need to overturn Roe v. Wade during his speech. He was seen arriving at the UN General Assembly holding his wife’s hand.
This was the first time for Harry and Meghan to step out in public since the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
As he delivered his speech, Prince Harry waded into U.S. politics once again. He spoke about the U.S. ‘rolling back of constitutional rights’ at the UN General Assembly in New York City.
Prince Harry launched an attack on Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling last month which ended abortion rights in the USA.
Prince Harry also spoke about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine among other challenges facing the world.
His speech was listened to by very few people in the room considering that the meeting venue was nearly empty.
Prince Harry said that he knew Meghan was his soulmate when they visited Africa together in 2019.
The UN Meeting lasted for two hours.
‘This has been a painful year in a painful decade. We are living through a pandemic that continues to ravage communities in every corner of the globe.
‘Climate change wreaking havoc on our planet with most vulnerable suffering most of all. The few weaponizing lies and disinformation at the expense of the many.
‘And from the horrific war in Ukraine to the rolling back of constitutional right in the US we are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom the cause of Mandela’s life.’
This is not the first time that the couple is attacking American politics. In another episode they found themselves in trouble when they commented about the US elections.
As a rule of the thumb, the members of the royal family are expected to be politically neutral.
Prince Harry added that: ‘For me there is one photo in particular that stands out. On my wall and in my heart everyday is an image of my mother and Mandela meeting in Cape Town in 1987.
‘It was presented to me by the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, whose friendship and inspiration were their own treasured gift.
‘My wife and I had the honor of introducing our four-month-old son to him in 2019. But when I first looked at the photo straight away what jumped out was the joy on my mother’s face.
‘The playfulness, cheekiness even, the pure delight to be in communion with another soul so committed to serving humanity.
‘Then I looked at Mandela. Here was a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders, asked to heal his country from the wreckage of its past and transform it for the future.
‘A man who had endured the very worst of humanity – vicious racism and state-sponsored brutality. A man who had lost 27 years with his children and family that he would never get back.’
