On March 3, Prince Harry will be going to represent the Queen for a service for Nelson Mandela.
The thanksgiving service held for the former South African president, who passed last December, will be broadcasted by the BBC. It will be a national service at Westminster Abbey.
According to Hello magazine, the service will be given by The Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr. John Hall. Additionally the address will be given by The Most Reverend Desmond Tutu, who is the former Archbishop of Cape Town.
According to Mirror, when Mandela passed in December, Prince Charles was sent to Qunu to attend the funeral. Qunu is the village in which Mandela grew up in.
After his death, Prince Charles described Mandela as an “embodiment of courage and reconciliation.”
“He was also a man of great humor and had a real zest for life,” he said. “With his passing there will be an immense void, not only in his family’s life, but also in those of all South Africans and the many others whose lives have been changed through his fight for peace, justice and freedom.”
Now, Prince Harry will be in attendance to celebrate Mandela’s life at the thanksgiving service. After the service, he will also attend a private reception at the iconic London landmark.
