Britain’s Prince Harry on Monday spoke about the moment he realised Meghan Markle was his “soulmate”. The British Royal said that he realised Meghan Markle was the one during a trip to Africa.
The Duke of Sussex was delivering a keynote speech at the United Nations headquarters on Nelson Mandela International Day. Harry reiterated seeking insight from Mandela in the times of global uncertainty due to climate change and the threats stemming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The British Royal also spoke about a 1997 photo taken in Capetown of Nelson Mandela and his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales. He said the photo hangs on his wall.
“When I first looked at the photo, straight away, what jumped out was the joy on my mother’s face. The playfulness, cheekiness even, pure delight to be in communion with another soul, so committed to serving humanity,” he said.
According to Page Six, Prince Harry said, “Since I first visited Africa as a 13-year-old boy, I’ve always found hope on the continent,” he shared, describing it as his “lifeline” where he’s “found peace and healing time and time again.”
He added, “It’s where I felt closest to my mother and sought solace after she died,” he went on, “and where I knew I’d found a soulmate in my wife.”
According to the Hindu, the couple visited Africa twice while dating – to Botswana in July 2016. The couple returned the following August to celebrate Meghan’s 36th birthday – and once after they were married.
Harry and Meghan got married in May 2018 at London’s St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in a lavish ceremony.
