For everything Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the rest of the royal family, visit our royal hub. It’s a blast.
Uh oh. The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has gone and supposedly broken royal protocol again by being a lovely person interested in basic human rights.
Ugh.
While in Ireland for the 36-year-old’s first overseas royal engagement since marrying The Duke of Sussex Prince Harry in May, an unassuming tweet from an Irish politician led many to believe the former Suits actress broke protocol by expressing a political view.
Senator Catherine Noone, an Irish politician who also chaired the parliamentary committee that recommended repealing the Eighth Amendment prohibiting abortion, posted a photo of herself on her social media platforms chatting with Meghan on Tuesday at the British ambassador’s residence in Dublin.
“A pleasure to meet Prince Harry & the Duchess of Sussex at the British Ambassador’s Residence this evening,” the Senator’s revised tweet now reads.

However, the original posts also included a line about Ireland’s decision to remove the article criminalising abortion from its constitution in May 2018.
“The Duchess and I had a chat about the recent referendum result — she watched with interest and was pleased to see the result,” it read, as per screenshots taken before the original tweet was edited.
The Queen will be cross! @princeharry211 in for an almighty dressing down when they go home I’d say @senatornoone pic.twitter.com/3r7KDGhKzw

Is it really a womans own body? What about the rights of the baby? Do we have more rights then the baby?
Nice try, troll.
The Royal Family maintains a position of political neutrality which has served them very well. Once they start making public comments and are seen to be sides in the political debate, they should probably start packing their bags and look for new jobs.
