The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the opening of the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition in London and the SA choir gave them (and all of us) the chills.
The official account of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their Royal Foundation, released a series of tweets today showing Meghan and Harry at the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition.
The exhibition was opened in London and showcases the life of Nelson Mandela. The couple were filmed watching a choir when Meghan Markle gestured to Prince Harry that the performance had given her goosebumps. You can see the short clip below.

The newly married couple socialised with people at the exhibition, including the late Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter. They walked through the exhibition and looked at a number of unique items linked to the late president.
The exhibition was curated by the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. It will be open from Tuesday at London’s Southbank Centre.
