Today, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially opened the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition at the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. The exhibition celebrates the life of inspirational freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, and marks 100 years since he was born. 





While there, Meghan and Harry listened to speeches and met with people celebrating the official opening of the exhibition.


They also met Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela, as well as Paul and Adelaide Joseph, Anti-Apartheid activists and close friends of Nelson and Winnie Mandela.




During their visit, The Duke and Duchess listened to a performance by the Ubunye Choir, made up of people from the South African diaspora. (While watching, Meghan gestured to Harry that the performance was giving her goosebumps. Sweet!)


They also spent time viewing the exhibit ahead of its launch, which will take place two days ahead of the Centre’s “Africa Utopia” festival.




After meeting Meghan and Harry, Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela had this to say:

“The visit of their Royal Highnesses Harry and Meghan is a great honour. Their support for justice and fairness in the world makes them a shining example for the youth of today and tomorrow.

“The thing I admire most about them is that they are activists, and they go out of their way to put their name behind causes that are important to them. They are young people who want to go out and really make a difference and stand out for certain things that are really important, and highlight certain causes that they are passionate about.

“For me, I think it’s very admirable that they stand by causes and they put their name where their mouth is. They don’t just talk about it, you see them actually taking part, and we are honoured that this is another one of the amazing projects that they like to support. They are from a family that has a legacy themselves, but by supporting Nelson Mandela’s legacy, it will have a huge effect throughout the world.”
