Nelson Mandela‘s grandson is not pleased about Meghan Markle comparing her marriage to his grandfather’s prison release!

While speaking to The Cut on Monday, the duchess recalled attending Disney‘s Lion King premiere in 2019. While attending the event, she claims an unnamed South African cast member pulled her aside and said when she married Prince Harry, South Africa “rejoiced” as they did when Mandela was freed from prison: Yeah, wow… Related: DJ Claims Sydney Sweeney ‘Pulled Some Racist S**t’ During Awards Show Clearly, she has no one to back this up but herself and the cast member who said it — although, we doubt they’ll be coming forward to confirm after the activist’s grandson Zwelivelile “Mandla” Mandela caught wind of the claim.

Speaking to DailyMail on Tuesday, he said there is no comparison: He continued, seemingly referring to the 41-year-old comparing herself to his grandfather, and urged anyone who wants to “comparing themselves” as an equal to him to look into the work he put in: Markle’s claims have stunned the Mandela family, and Zwelivelile said Nelson’s release from his 27-year sentence was far more important than her “marriage to a white prince”.

He went on to speak of his grandfather’s work and how he refused to “be silent” on the issues that matter: The African National Congress MP also gave some advice, telling readers to “live the life” Nelson did, because there’s no “value” in these celebrations if someone is “opposed to what he stood for”: In closing, he popped off at Meghan once again, reminding her the price the activist paid is in no way similar to her wedding celebrations: Mic drop.
