The outrage stems from an interview Markle did for The Cut, where she told a story about a South African actor who told her that:

"I just need you to know, when you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same as we did when Mandela was freed from prison."

Mandla then clapped back by saying:

"Madiba’s celebration was based on overcoming 350 years of colonialism with 60 years of a brutal apartheid regime in SA. So It cannot be equated as the same."

Earlier this week, The Duchess of Sussex trended on Twitter after sharing a story about what happened to a nursery her son was in.
