Prince Harry welcomed to Angola for solo trip 28 years after Diana’s historic landmine walk

The Duke of Sussex has landed in Angola 28 years after his mother, Princess Diana, embarked on a historic walk through a minefield in the country.

Prince Harry has travelled solo, without the Duchess of Sussex, to promote the work of the HALO Trust, a charity he is a patron of that works to clear landmines and other explosive devices left behind by conflicts.

Harry previously visited Angola in 2019, donning body armour and a protective visor while setting off a controlled explosion in a partially cleared minefield similar to one visited by his mother.

On Tuesday (15 July), the charity said Harry attended a discussion with the country’s president on removing landmines.
