Taking to the stage, Harry gave an impassioned speech. He spoke on climate change, and poverty, as well as referencing Nelson Mandela’s life and the challenges still facing the country today.
He then went on to detail his personal and deep connection to Africa, revealing that it’s a place where he feels closest to his mother and where he realised that his wife Meghan was the ‘one’.
He said, “Since I first visited Africa at 13 years old, I've always found hope on the continent. In fact, for most of my life, it has been my lifeline, a place where I have found peace and healing time and time again,
"It's where I've felt closest to my mother and sought solace after she died, and where I knew I had found a soulmate in my wife.”
