MANDELA’S FAMILY HITS BACK

In her interview with The Cut, Meghan sensationa­lly revealed that at the 2019 premiere of The Lion King, a South African cast member told her, “I just need you to know – when you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same as we did when [Nelson] Mandela was freed from prison.” The comment didn’t sit well with the late Nelson’s grandson, Mandla Mandela. “Madiba’s celebratio­n was based on overcoming 350 years of colonialis­m with 60 years of a brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So it cannot be equated to as the same.”

He added that apartheid was not the same as Meghan’s marriage to a “white prince”.
