What does "Live to Lead" mean?

Serve to Lead is Royal Military Academy Sandhurst's mission statement-thing. Which is a similar phrase that Harry will have known also. Similar message to Live to Lead of the documentary series.

She stated that South Africans were dancing in the street on their wedding day. Nelson Mandelas grandson said no they didnt
Once again, recollections may vary. 🤣

They certainly need to do something about their own judgement Maw. She's absolutely right that H needs to more "authentic" and "stick to his own story".

This is not a good look for Netflix or H & M.

I fear they have miscalculated as Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter has been reported criticising them and others for “piggybacking” on her grandfathers reputation
From The Times
She has said she admired Meghan and Prince Harry for leaving their royal duties but criticised their involvement in Live to Lead, a documentary series profiling public figures. The Mandelas have made no money from it, she told “The Australian
Mandela, 57, said Harry needed to be more “authentic” and “stick to his own story”. She added: “What relevance does grandad’s life have with his? I don’t believe he nor Meghan have ever properly met grandad — maybe when Harry was young at Buckingham Palace — but they are using his quotations in the documentary to draw in people and make millions without the Mandela family benefiting
If this is the case, Netflix has a lot to answer for, and IMO are guilty of exploiting the Sussexes for their celebrity status, but H and M also either need better advice or their own better judgement
