How did Prince Harry follow in the footsteps of his mother, Queen Diana?

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, crossed one of the largest minefields in Africa during his visit to Cuito Cuanavale in Angola, in a powerful humanitarian gesture that brought back memories of a historic scene from 1997, thus retracing the path of his late mother, Princess Diana, who walked the same ground 27 years ago wearing a protective vest and helmet for the Halo Trust.

Prince Harry's visit was part of the community outreach program of the British HALO Foundation, which has been working for decades to remove landmines left behind by the Angolan Civil War, which lasted for more than 20 years and officially ended in 2002. The Prince's visit is a clear and direct support for the foundation's efforts, which have so far removed more than 120,000 mines and 100,000 bombs from across the country.

Preventive messages for children... in Portuguese During his visit, Prince Harry engaged with families living near minefields, particularly children, repeating warning phrases in Portuguese such as "Stop, step back, and tell the adults." He sought to raise awareness of the dangers of approaching mine-contaminated areas, which continue to claim lives years after the conflict ended.

In a speech during the visit, Prince Harry said: "Children should not have to live in fear of playing outside or going to school. In Angola, more than three decades later, the remnants of war still threaten lives every day."

He added, "We appreciate the Angolan government's continued commitment, which reflects HALO's success in saving lives and reducing humanitarian risks. We thank President Lourenço for his leadership and partnership, as well as our donors for their continued support in our quest for a mine-free Angola."

Post-war challenges HALO estimates that at least 60,000 people in Angola have been killed or injured by landmines since 2008, while the true figure is likely much higher. Despite progress, more than 1,000 minefields remain uncleared, some of them in vital areas such as the Lobito Corridor, which connects the country's Atlantic coast to the mineral wealth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia.

James Cowan, CEO of the HALO Foundation, said: “We are deeply grateful to Prince Harry for his personal commitment to the Foundation’s work in Angola. This represents a significant step forward in our mission to rid the country of mines, and we will continue to work alongside the Angolan people until every last mine is removed.”

This visit by Prince Harry is part of his ongoing humanitarian work, which focuses on post-conflict issues, the psychological well-being of veterans, and environmental protection, continuing the humanitarian legacy begun by his mother, Princess Diana, before her passing.
