mocked Meghan Markle on Tuesday after the Duchess of Sussex said herself to
Nelson Mandela in her new interview with The Cut magazine.

claimed she was told in 2019 by a Lion King cast member that South Africans had
“danced in the street” when she married Prince Harry – just as they did when
“Mandela was released from prison.” the prison’.
Stefanovic, 48, who has never
been shy about criticizing Meghan, incredulously mocked Markle’s claims during
a conversation with Nine’s London correspondent Tracy Vo.
‘It’s hard to see what that
would be like’ [the Royal Family], especially the references to Mandela,” he
noted, while his co-host Allison Langdon added, “He’s, I think, tone deaf.”
Mandela spent 27 years in
prison for resisting South Africa’s apartheid system.
After he was released, he
helped negotiate an end to apartheid and became South Africa’s first
democratically elected president.
