The Duke and Duchess of Sussex met Nelson Mandela's grand-daughter at
the opening of an exhibition charting his life and career today.
Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela said it was "an honour" for Harry and
Meghan to visit the event at London's Southbank Centre as she hailed the
pair's "support for justice and fairness", calling them a "shining
example" for young people.
They royal couple were invited to the ceremony in honour of the
centenary celebration of Madiba because of the prince's charity work in
South Africa.
Leading former anti-apartheid campaigner Lord Hain, who is chairman of the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition, said: "London
was the centre of the anti-apartheid struggle. It was here that
Mandela's close comrade Oliver Tambo lived, led and directed the
worldwide struggle, from military operations in southern Africa to
diplomatic lobbying of the United Nations. We thought to commemorate
Mandela's centenary there should be an exhibition in London."
Also in attendance at the event's launch were Baroness Lawrence and Andrew Mlangeni - a former inmate of Mr Mandela.
