“I have spent time with many members of Nelson Mandela’s family and I speak to them and to you with respect. He was a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. A man who endured the worst of humanity. A man who lost 27 years of his life, to enjoy it with his children, from which he will never recover, 27 years old. Even so, in all the photos, he comes out radiant because he was able to see the good in the world. Not because he was blind to injustices, he lived through them, but because he knew we could overcome them,” the Duke of Sussex began his speech.

With a serious face, Prince Harry delivered his most important speech and moved since leaving London under the watchful eye of Meghan Markle, to whom he dedicated a few precious words: “Since I visited Africa for the first time at the age of 13, I ‘ve always found hope on the mainland. In fact, for most of my life has been my lifeline, a place where I’ve found peace and healed over and over again, that’s where I find myself. felt closest to my mother, that’s where I found comfort when she died, And that’s when I knew my wife was actually my soul mate.”.
