Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter, the activist Ndileka Mandela, has expressed solidarity with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, comparing their plight to the early life of her grandfather, the global civil rights icon.
Ndileka’s comments came after a new book named Kate and Charles as the two senior royals accused of making comments and asking questions about what color skin any babies of Meghan and Harry would have before they were born.
Speaking to the BBC on the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg program, Ndileka Mandela, who is a delegate at the COP28 climate conference, was asked whether she thought Harry and Meghan had been the victims of racism. In reply, she drew a comparison with her grandfather’s decision to flee to Johannesburg in 1941 to evade an arranged marriage.
