Prince Harry is following in the footsteps of his late mother Diana by supporting charitable causes. The Duke of Sussex walked through an active minefield near the village of Cuito Cuanavale in southern Angola on Wednesday.
Harry wore a bulletproof vest to raise awareness with Halo Trust, a charity that removes explosives from former war zones.
This is the same organization that Princess Diana encountered in January 1997 in Angola, a few months before her death in a car accident in Paris.
For Harry, this is not the first time he has retraced his mother's steps.
In 2019, he had already participated in a similar campaign in that country.
The landmines across Angola were left behind by a 27-year civil war, from 1975 to 2002.
The Halo Trust has stated that at least 80,000 Angolans have been killed or injured by landmines since 2008.
She indicated that she had located and destroyed more than 120,000 landmines in Angola since 1994, but 1,000 minefields still need to be cleared.
Angola had set itself the goal of being free of landmines by 2025.
