Prince William and Kate learned of Mandela’s death after the film. Two of Mandela’s daughters Zenani and Zindzi Mandela were also attending the screening when they were told of their father’s death.  Daughter Zindzi insisted the showing of the movie should still go ahead.

At the end of the screening Prince William with Kate alongside him paid tribute to the great leader and his extraordinary achievements, expressing his condolences to the Mandela family.

Others in the audience were not told until after the movie had ended when the film’s producer, Anant Singh, got up on stage and announced the ‘sad news’.  Tears were shed as they heard of Nelson Mandela’s death.

Watch the video for the glamorous arrival and before the bad news.
