It was a poignant visit for the Duke.
The Duke of Sussex looked visibly moved September 27, 2019 - 14:01 BST Danielle Stacey The Duke of Sussex made a poignant visit to the street in Angola that Princess Diana was photographed walking through in 1997 – which was once a dangerous minefield. Dressed casually in a beige shirt and black trousers, Prince Harry, 35, looked visibly moved as he retraced his mother's steps in Huambo.
Harry said: "It has been quite emotional retracing my mother's steps 22 years on and to see the transformation that has taken place from an unsafe and desolate area into a vibrant community with local businesses and colleges." Earlier today, Harry followed in his mother's footsteps as he visited a partially cleared minefield outside Dirico, where he remotely detonated a mine. The Duke donned body armour and a protective visor for the engagement, which was to highlight the ongoing threat of the munitions in Angola, the same nation Diana visited in 1997 to urge the world to ban the weapons.
