Lion King cast responds to Meghan Markle’s Mandela comparisons

newidea.com.au:

Last week, during an interview with The Cut, Meghan Markle retold a conversation she had at the Lion King live-action movie premiere in London. “I just had Archie.

It was such a cruel chapter. I was scared to go out,” she explained before sharing a conversation she had with a cast member from South Africa. “He looked at me, and he’s just like light,” she said.  “He 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.’” Whilst the interview did clarify that Meghan “knows she’s no Mandela,” it didn't stop the barrage of hate that came her way after the article's release - and now the only South African cast member of the movie is speaking out.
