Meghan Markle has drawn criticism from Nelson Mandela’s grandson after she claimed she was told that her marriage to Prince Harry was ‘rejoiced in the streets’ just as when Mandela was freed from prison.
The comment was made by Meghan during an interview with The Cut magazine. The Duchess of Sussex said that a Lion King cast member told her in 2019 that they had celebrated her becoming part of the royal family in the same way as when Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in prison in 1990, The Mirror reports .
Meghan recalled the moment the cast member pulled her aside: "He looked at me, and he just said: 'I just need you to know, when you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison'," she said.
