Prince Harry's UN speech in full: From rant about US politics to touching tribute to Mandela and his mom

Good morning, everybody, and thank you to the president of the General Assembly, His Excellency Mr. Abdullah Shahid, for the introduction and thank you to the Nelson Mandela Foundation for inviting me to speak on this day of all days. And thank you to Secretary General Gutierrez and the United Nations, whose promise reflects Mandela's vision of a freer, more peaceful world - for hosting us today, it is an honor to join you all on Nelson Mandela International Day.

Having spent time with many of Mandela's family members over the years, I speak to you today with humility, mindful of how much the man they loved means to so many. Those of us not fortunate enough to know Mandela well have come to understand the man through his legacy, the letters he wrote alone in his prison cell, the speeches he delivered to his people, and those incredible shirts that he sported.

We've also come to know him through the photographs of a person who, even when confronting unimaginable cruelty and injustice, almost always had a smile on his face. For me, there's one photo in particular that stands out on my wall, and in my heart every day is an image of my mother and Mandela meeting in Cape Town in 1997. The photo was presented to me by the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, whose friendship and inspiration with our own treasured gift. My wife and I had the honor of introducing our four month old son to him back in 2019.

When I first looked at the photo straight away, what jumped out was the joy on my mother's face the playfulness, cheekiness, even the pure delight to be in communion with another soul so committed to serving humanity. And then I looked at Mandela. Here was a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders, asked to heal his country from the wreckage of its past and transform it for the future. A man who had endured the very worst of humanity, vicious racism and state sponsored brutality. A man who had lost 27 years with his children and family that he would never get back - 27 years. Yet in that photo and so many others, he is still beaming, still able to see the goodness in humanity, still buoyant, with a beautiful spirit that lifted everyone around him, not because he was blind to the ugliness, the injustices of the world know he saw them clearly he had lived them, but because he knew we could overcome them.

In our own time, a time of global uncertainty and division when it's all too easy to look around and feel anger or despair. I've been inspired to go back to Mandela's writings for insight into how this could be, how he could experience so much darkness and always manage to find the light. There I found a few lines that stopped me in my tracks. In a letter from prison, he wrote. I feel my heart pumping, hope steadily to every part of my body warming my blood and pumping up my spirits. I am convinced that floods of personal disaster can never drown a determined revolutionary, too. A freedom fighter. Hope is what a lifeboat is to a swimmer, a guarantee that one will keep afloat and free from danger. It moved me even more when I saw the date. August 1st, 1977 - years into Mandela's imprisonment. Not even one third of the way through in those circumstances, how many of us would have lost hope and let our lifeboat slip away? How many of us would have been broken by a system designed to do exactly that? And let's be honest, how many of us are in danger of losing those lifeboats right now? How many of us feel battered, helpless in the face of a seemingly endless stream of disasters and devastation? I understand this has been a painful year and a painful decade.

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. And 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.

According to Freedom House, our world has grown less free every year for more than a decade and a half, as so often happens in history. The consequences of decisions made by most some of the most powerful people in some of the wealthiest countries are being felt even more deeply across the continent of Africa, the pandemic, the war and inflation have left Africa mired in a fuel and food crisis, the likes of which we have not seen in decades. Worse still, this comes at a time when the Horn of Africa is enduring the longest drought it's faced in close to half a century. And what is happening in Africa is not an isolated event. The drought there is a reflection of extreme weather we are seeing across the globe. As we sit here today, our world is on fire again. And these historic weather events are no longer historic. More and more, they are part of our daily lives. And this crisis will only grow worse unless our leaders lead. Unless the countries represented by the seats in this hallowed hall make the decisions, the daring, transformative decisions that our world needs to save humanity.

These decisions may not fit with the agendas of every political party. They may invite resistance from powerful interests. But the right thing to do is not up for debate, and neither is the science. The only question is whether we will be brave enough and wise enough to do what is necessary. So, yes, this is a pivotal moment, a moment where multiple converging crises have given way to an endless string of injustices. A moment where ordinary people around the world are experiencing extraordinary pain. And in this moment, we have a choice to make. We can grow apathetic, succumb to anger, or yield to despair, surrendering to the gravity of what we're up against. Or we can do what Mandela did every single day inside that seven by nine foot prison cell on Robben Island and every day outside of it to we can find meaning and purpose in the struggle. We can wear our principles as armor. Heed the advice Mandela once gave his son to never give up the battle, even in the darkest hour and find hope. Where we have the courage to seek it.

Since I first visited Africa at 13 years old, I've always found hope on the continent. In fact, for most of my life, it has been my lifeline, a place where I found peace and healing time and time again. It's where I felt closest to my mother and sought solace after she died and where I knew I had found a soulmate in my wife. And it's why so much of my work is based on. Because despite continued hardship, there are people across Africa who embody Mandela's spirit and ideals. Building on the progress he helped make possible.

I see it in the communities fighting to save the Okavango Delta, defying the odds to protect their home and its biodiversity from big oil companies. I see it in the young girls who are forced out of school and into marriage in northern Nigeria, speaking out today so others may get a fuller chance to thrive tomorrow. I see it in the young entrepreneurs I met in Johannesburg, using their energy and creativity to launch businesses that serve their communities. I see it in World Central Kitchen, a partner of the Archewell Foundation, and their volunteers in Ukraine and around the world fighting food insecurity. One meal at a time. I see it in the vulnerable children of the city and Botswana. Orphaned by HIV. Striving for a better future. Which we support through our organization, sensibly. I see it in the newest generation of activists for Equality and Justice who are mobilizing people of all ages and races, all faiths and walks of life to lace up their shoes and join the march. And I see it in the parents I meet around the world, as determined as Mandela was to give their children a better shot at a brighter future. To prioritize their own, and their children's mental health and well-being. To reject old ideas and past prejudice. To heal from the past. And build resilience for the present and future. Because they know the price of inaction will be paid by the next generation in their strength and in their deeds.

Mandela's legacy shines as brightly as ever. They are my life, though I hope they can be yours, too, because right now the water is rising all around us. In some places, quite literally. So it's more important than ever that we seek a purpose greater than ourselves and get to work. After all, Mandela was not only a man of conscience, he was a man of action. He organized millions inspired millions, joined hands not only with those who loved him, but those who had once jailed him to build a better future for all. Well, Mandela understood was the true legacy transcends one's own needs and the passage of time. It defies the moment. Its relevance never ceases. Legacy does not belong to the self. It belongs to those it impacts. That doesn't mean he was perfect. No, he was something better. He was human. As he wrote in his autobiography, 'I have made missteps along the way, but I have discovered the secrets that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I've taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me. To look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment. For with freedom comes response abilities. And I dare not linger. For my long walk is not yet ended.'

It has been almost a decade now since Mandela's own walk on this earth finally reached its end. But what he taught us again and again is that it was never his walk alone. It was all of us. It is all of us. What a beautiful gift. Especially as a dad of two young children myself. The message that this world is meant to be shared. The work of each generation is tied to those who came before and those who will come after us. That we have an obligation to give as much, if not more, than we take and never shudder in the face of darkness. For hope is the fuel the courage requires.

So on this Nelson Mandela International Day, as a new generation comes of age, a generation that did not witness Mandela's leadership for themselves, let's commit to remembering and celebrating his life and legacy every day, not just once a year. Let's talk with our children about what he stood for. Let's seek out what we have in common. Empower all people to reclaim our democracies and harness the light of Mandela's memory to illuminate the way forward. Because if we can summon our own courage, just as he did. If we can see one another's humanity, just as he did, a better day will truly be on the horizon. Thank you.

Harry says photo of Diana meeting Mandela in 1997 remains on 'his wall and his heart'

Prince Harry has said a photograph of Diana meeting Mandela in 1997 remains on his 'wall and his heart'. The Duke also revealed how he 'knew he had found a soulmate' in Meghan Markle, 40, on a visit to Africa.

During his speech, he spoke about his love for the continent, which he first visited when he was 13 years old and explained he went there to seek solace following her death. It was then he called Meghan, who he whisked to Botswana on their third date, his 'soulmate'.

Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, famously met with Mandela in Cape Town in March 1997, just five months before her tragic death

Harry and Meghan arrived hand-in-hand ahead of his speech to delegates on climate change and poverty during the two hour meeting.

It is the first time that the couple have been seen in public since jetting to the UK to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last month, where they kept a low profile. During his speech, Harry said a photograph of his mother Princess Diana meeting Nelson Mandela remains 'on his wall and his heart'.

He said that his mother's 'joy and playfulness' can be seen in the photograph, taken in Cape Town in March 1997, just five months before her tragic death. 'We've also come to know him through the photographs of a person who even when confronting unimaginable cruelty and injustice, almost always had a smile on his face,' said Harry.

'For me, there's one photo in particular that stands out. On my wall, and in my heart everyday, is an image of my mother and Mandela meeting in Cape Town in 1997.

Harry and Meghan's forays into US politics

2020 - During a September video shot for Time 100 before the presidential election, Harry and Meghan called on American voters to 'reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity' in 'the most important election of our life,' which was viewed as a not-so-veiled rebuke of President Donald Trump.

Critics of the formerly-royal couple's comments included none other than her majesty's family, who noted the Sussexes vowed that 'everything they do will uphold the values of Her Majesty' - values that are supposed to include not picking sides in political matters. Buckingham Palace was forced to distance itself from Harry's remarks by saying that 'the Duke is not a working member of the royal family' and describing his comments as 'made in a personal capacity'.

A Source close to the Sussexes also noted Meghan was keen to keep her American citizenship after she became a royal in case she ever wanted to go into US politics. The source told Vanity Fair's Katie Nicholl that Meghan 'would seriously consider running for president' after she gave up her royal title.

2021 - Meghan is revealed to have been calling Republican senators on their personal phones and using her former royal title to urge them to vote in favor of a paid paternal leave legislation.

'This is Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex,' Markle reportedly said to West Virginia senator Moore Capito. She also did the same with Senator Susan Collins of Maine.

'Much to my surprise, she called me on my private line and introduced herself as the Duchess of Sussex, which is kind of ironic' said Collins. 'I was happy to talk with her, but I'm more interested in what people from Maine are telling me about paid leave,' she told Politico.

She also submitted a 1,030 word letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in which she made made a plea for the parental legislation. The letter was written on Duchess of Sussex letterhead. In the letter, the former duchess wrote that the US's economic systems were 'past their expiration date' and 'too many Americans are forced to shortchange themselves when it comes to what matters to them.'

2022 - In May, Markle chartered a private jet to travel 1,400 miles to Texas where she laid a bouquet of white 'peace' roses at a memorial to the 19 children and two teachers slain at Robb Elementary School by murderous maniac Salvador Ramos. She also made a surprise visit to a blood center with two crates of food and drinks for donors, volunteers revealed, as one admitted: 'I had no idea who she was' and another confused her with a neighbor.

Though cameras and news crews surrounded the memorial on Thursday, Markle did not make any remarks to the press. Then in an interview with Vogue following the overturning of Roe v Wade, Meghan also urged men to be 'more vocal' with their anger at the repealing of Roe v Wade and said that Prince Harry's response to the Supreme Court's decision last Friday was 'guttural.'

'My husband and I talked about that a lot over the past few days. He's a feminist too,' she said, adding 'We have to channel that fear into action. We can start this November in the midterms. We have to vote, every time.'

Markle said she was willing to travel to Washington DC to join in on pro choice marches. Conservative Georgia congressman Rep.

Buddy Carter chimed in on Markle's comments, saying 'I think Americans made it pretty clear in 1776 that they don't want members of the British Royal Family making decisions for them.' In earlier in the spring, the Sussexes hired Miranda Barbot, a former aide to president Barack Obama who was central to his successful reelection campaign in 2012.
