The Duchess of Sussex’s sister Samantha Markle is pursuing a legal case against Meghan

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded “evil” by Samantha Markle’s attorney, who claims the Duke of Sussex wants to control American speech.

Peter Ticktin, of the Ticktin Law Group, launched a scathing attack on the Duke of Sussex during ongoing legal proceedings between Meghan Markle and her half-sister.

“To most of us, Americans, we couldn’t give a tinker’s damn as to whether that prince is the Duke of Wales, the Duke of Sussex, or the Duke of Earl,” Ticktin told Newsweek.

The attorney criticised Harry’s presence in the United States, stating: “This Duke is here as our guest, and his goal seems to be to control our speech.”

Ticktin’s criticism centred on Harry’s involvement with the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder, which he mockingly referred to as the “Ministry of Truth.”

The attorney took particular issue with Harry’s role as one of 16 governors who “decide which statements on our internet should be deleted as misinformation.”

The commission, according to its website, works with government, private sector and civil society to address the spread of false information online.

Ticktin also referenced Harry’s previous comments about the US First Amendment being “Bonkers,” suggesting this showed the Duke’s attitudes towards American freedoms.

Ticktin further criticised Harry and Meghan’s recent initiatives around internet safety.

In recent filings, Samantha’s team also referred to Harry using Prince William’s title, Prince of Wales.

Ticktin further criticised Harry and Meghan’s recent initiatives around internet safety.

“The Sussex Squad smear, threaten, and set out to destroy anyone who criticises Meghan or Harry,” Ticktin said. “They are the evil which Harry pretends to be against.”

The comments follow the launch of The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Network in August, where Harry discussed online risks to young people.

During a CBS Sunday Mornings interview, Harry expressed concern about social media’s impact on children.

“They could be in the next-door room on a tablet or on a phone and can be going down these rabbit holes,” Harry said. “And before you know it, within 24 hours, they could be taking their life.”
