It has been 22 years since Princess Diana's famous visit to Angola
The Duke of Sussex carried out a solo engagement on day 5 of the royal tour Last modified on Sep 27, 2019 08:08 BST Chloe Best The Duke of Sussex retraced his late mother Princess Diana's footsteps on Friday, as he visited a partially cleared minefield in Angola on day five of the royal tour.
The 36-year-old walked into an area that was once an artillery base for anti-government forces who had mined the position in 2000 before retreating. He was learning about the efforts of Halo Trust staff working to clear large areas of the country of military munitions.
The engagement comes 22 years after Prince Harry's late mother walked through a partially cleared minefield in the African nation, with the photos of her visit quickly becoming iconic. But Harry won’t be recreating that famous image – the area that was once a dangerous minefield in 1997 is now a busy street with schools, shops and houses.Prince Harry will have the opportunity to see the same area she visited to see how it has thrived since the landmines were cleared.
