Shortly after arriving at New York City’s United Nations headquarters hand-in-hand with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry gave his wife a shoutout during his speech honoring the late South African leader Nelson Mandela.
In his address, the Duke of Sussex spoke about a photo of Mandela and his late mother, Princess Diana, which he says remains “on my wall and in my heart every day.”
Not only have the pair returned to Africa since their original Botswana trip, a source told that Markle recreated the magical moment for his 35th birthday in September 2019. “Last year, for Harry’s birthday, Meghan recreated their Botswana camping adventures in their backyard,” the source said. “It’s a place that means so much to them—and to Harry in particular—so Meghan wanted to bring that happy place to him on his day so she set up a tent, got sleeping bags, cooked dinner, and recreated Botswana where they fell in love.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have come a long way since their early days in 2016. The happy couple currently live in Montecito, California, with their two children: three-year-old Archie and one-year-old Lilibet Diana.
