"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived," the duke begins, before Meghan continues, "It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead." Mandela famously delivered these powerful lines in 2002 on the 90th birthday of South African anti-apartheid activist, Walter Sisulu.
