I couldn’t imagine the hurt! Last night, was the London premiere for, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and the late great hero’s daughters, Zindzi and Zenani were in attendance with the likes of Idris Elba, Naomie Harris and royalty, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The sisters barely got through the beginning of the film before they were pulled out and given the news of their father’s death. The two instructed that the premiere continue, and although it did, the rest of the attendees were given the news once the film had ended.
“It was only after the credits had rolled that the film’s producer Anant Singh got on the stage to break the news to the rest of the audience. There were screams and gasps of shock while some burst into tears. A two minutes’ silence was held,” reports the UK’s Daily Mail.
It was a devastating situation, and Prince William was still able to voice his statement. Check out that, and more after the jump.
