Quoting a letter penned by Mandela in prison, the Duke said: “To a freedom fighter hope is what a life belt is to a swimmer - a guarantee that one will keep afloat and free from danger.” The royal addressed the war in Ukraine, climate change, and the US’s recent abortion ban during his speech at the United Nations headquarters. Harry called on world leaders to use Mandela’s legacy as inspiration at “a time of global uncertainty and division.” The couple have been vocal advocates of Mandela’s legacy, celebrating the anti-apartheid freedom fighter who rose to become South Africa’s first black president after serving 27 years in an apartheid-state prison.

The Duke, 37, also demanded world leaders seriously address climate change, saying, “the water is rising all around us - in some places quite literally.” “We’re living through a pandemic that continues to ravage communities in every corner of the globe climate change wreaking havoc on our planet, with the most vulnerable suffering most of all the few, weaponizing lies and disinformation at the expense of the many.” Britain’s Prince Harry addressed the UN General Assembly at the celebration of Nelson Mandela International Day on Monday. “This has been a painful year in a painful decade,” the Duke of Sussex continued. “From the horrific war in Ukraine to the rolling back of constitutional rights here in the United States, we are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom - the cause of Mandela’s life,” he said.
