Ndileka Mandela, the granddaughter of Nelson Mandela, is speaking out with new comments about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently released their new Netflix series Live to Lead, which they say was inspired by the legacy of Mandela.

In a conversation with The Australian, Ndileka said that the couple is “using” her grandfather’s legacy and called it “upsetting and tedious.”

“I don’t believe [Harry] nor Meghan have ever properly met granddad, maybe when Harry was young at Buckingham Palace. But they are using his quotations in the documentary to draw in people and make millions without the Mandela family benefiting,” she added.

In new comments, she seems to backtrack on her previous words.

Nelson Mandela’s grandson Zwelivelile “Mandla” Mandela is responding to a quote from Meghan Markle‘s newest interview, where she dropped lots of bombshells.

if you didn’t see, in the interview, Duchess Meghan spoke about attending the 2019 premiere of The Lion King in the UK while still working as senior members of the royal family.

At the event, Meghan said one of the actors in the film, a South African artist, approached her and said, “I just need you to know: When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison.”

The Cut article did add, “Of course, she knows she’s no Mandela, but perhaps even telling me this story is a mode of defense, because if you are a symbol for all that is good and charitable, how can anybody find you objectionable, how can anybody hate you?”

Prince William has spoken out about the death of former South African president Nelson Mandela moments after watching the new movie Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

The 31-year-old royal was attending the London premiere of the new film when news broke about Nelson‘s death. Reports suggest that William and his wife Kate Middleton were told about the death while the movie was playing, but the audience didn’t find out until after the credits played. A two minute moment of silence was held in the theater.

“It’s obviously extremely sad and tragic news. We were just reminded of what an extraordinary and inspiring man Nelson Mandela was, and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family,” William told reporters while Kate stood by his side.

Idris Elba and Morgan Freeman, two of the actors who had the chance to play Nelson Mandela on film, have reacted to the death of the iconic South African president.

“What an honor it was to step into the shoes of Nelson Mandela and portray a man who defied odds, broke down barriers, and championed human rights before the eyes of the world. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,” Idris said.

“Today the world lost one of the true giants of the past century. Nelson Mandela was a man of incomparable honor, unconquerable strength, and unyielding resolve�”a saint to many, a hero to all who treasure liberty, freedom and the dignity of humankind. As we remember his triumphs, let us, in his memory, not just reflect on how far we’ve come, but on how far we have to go. Madiba may no longer be with us, but his journey continues on with me and with all of us,” Morgan said in his statement.

Idris stars in the brand new film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom while Morgan played him in the film Invictus.

“I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela‘s life. My first political action was a protest against apartheid. I studied his words and his writings,” Obama continued. “The day…he was released from prison gave me a sense of what human beings can do when…guided by their hopes rather than…fears. Like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example set by Nelson Mandela.”
