The Duke of Sussex today retraced the footsteps of his late mother as he donned body armour and a protective visor to walk through a partially cleared minefield.
Harry was highlighting the ongoing threat of the munitions in Angola, the same nation Diana, Princess of Wales visited in 1997 to urge the world to ban the weapons.
Some 22 years after his mother walked through the minefield and called for a global ban on mines, Harry was then asked to set off an anti-personnel mine which had been discovered earlier with a controlled explosion to safely destroy the decades-old weapon.
Near the south-eastern town of Dirico, the duke walked into an area that was once an artillery base for anti-government forces who had mined the position in 2000 before retreating.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex posted a poignant message on their Instagram account today, honouring the tireless work of Diana which, 'helped change the course of history'.
They added: 'The Duke is humbled to be visiting a place and a community that was so special to his mother, and to recognise her tireless mission as an advocate for all those she felt needed her voice the most, even if the issue was not universally popular.'

Did you notice the picture near the end of the story where the man in white appeared to be placing the “danger” signs, and neither man pictured was wearing the protective helmet and vest?

Revealed: Meghan told entrepreneurs in Cape Town that she’s determined to ‘fulfil her heart’s desires’ and refuses to let her own needs ‘fade away’ amid her royal duties
I really, really wish the British royal family would pull all titles, perks, money, housing and anything else they provide to her. Let her go fulfill all her desires on her or someone else’s coin. This is like an employee telling
the boss, “You are paying me to work for you, but I’m going to build my own business on your time and your dime, and I’m not going to exert much effort on your behalf in the process.”
She is setting herself up for the divorce.
She is worse for the Monarchy than Wallis Simpson. In fact, Wallis did the Brits a favor buy giving them Queen Elizabeth.
In no way was either of them in harms way. Total stunt that backfired on her and now him. He’s such a putz.
He should go do it in Afghanistan.
LOL..no kidding.
Now, there is a Diana tree
