The Duchess of Sussex’s claim that her marriage to Prince Harry was a moment of jubilation that was compared to Nelson’s Mandela’s release from prison has been greeted with surprise by one of the anti-apartheid campaigner’s grandchildren.
In an interview with the Cut, Meghan said she had been told in 2019 by one South African cast member of The Lion King in London: “I need you to know. When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was released from prison.”
