Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are discovering that the Hollywood dream can often be more of a nightmare. The life of high-flying movie producers comes with plenty of headaches, and the latest is being caused by their Netflix docuseries, “Live to Lead.” Members of Nelson Mandela’s family are apparently furious at the couple for linking the late South African President to the project, claiming that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are just using Nelson’s name to garner attention.
In an interview with The Australian, Nikola Mandela called the docuseries “upsetting and tedious,” slamming Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Harry, Duke of Sussex, in the process. She thinks the two have “ulterior motives” and are cashing in on the legacy of her beloved grandfather. “I know the Nelson Mandela Foundation has supported the initiative, but people have stolen grandfather’s quotes for years and have used his legacy because they know his name sells,” Nikola charged. “Harry and Meghan are no different from them.”

Deadline reports that “Live to Lead” is about “the people whose actions shape our world.” It features interviews with various motivational figures, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Greta Thunberg, and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. “This was inspired by Nelson Mandela, who once said, ‘What counts in life is not the mere fact we have lived,” Harry announces in the trailer. “It is what difference we have made to the lives of others,” Meghan concludes.
