    Worf being a Klingon and his father involved (wrongfully) in a Romulan conspiracy doesn't give him the right to have an opinion? Also - nothing about that situation was natural, which is more what the Prime Directive is about - ensuring that civilizations develop naturally. Klingons are already part of the Federation and Romulans are a known entity

    Perhaps I'm mistaken here, but I was of the impression that the Prime Directive only applies to civilizations that have not yet achieved warp flight. Klingons and Romulans have both passed that marker.

    The PD applies to the internal affairs of any sovereign entity, regardless of their FTL status. This is why Picard was unable to directly involve himself in the Klingon civil war.

    I am not sure how the prime directive would really apply to a private individual that was more or less being held prisoner by a group that both knew of FTL, the federation and so on.
