Prince Harry has recounted the moment he knew wife Meghan was his ‘soulmate’ in a powerful United Nations address.

- It was during this speech that Harry made touching comments about his mother Princess Diana and dubbed Meghan his ‘soulmate’.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made an exciting trip to New York City for Prince Harry’s keynote speech at the United Nations General Assembly, for Nelson Mandela International Day. During his poignant speech, Harry detailed his connections with Africa and made this romantic declaration about Meghan.
Prince Harry was supported by Meghan as he took the stage to address the attendees of the United Nations meeting - the pair traveled from their home in LA but it is unknown whether their children, Archie and Lilibet also got to enjoy the trip to the Big Apple.
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.”
