Prince Harry is visiting Angola to honor Princess Diana’s legacy by supporting ongoing landmine clearance efforts. During his two-day visit, he will walk a former minefield, which is now a lively street named after his mother, and meet with President João Lourenço and the Halo Trust to secure a new three-year demining commitment. His presence underscores a push for continued progress, with over 1,000 minefields still threatening communities in the region. The visit also renews attention to past government pledges, including a $60 million commitment in 2019. While recent tabloid leaks surrounding his trip and a secret royal summit have stirred tensions, Prince Harry’s dedication to his mother’s mission remains steadfast, bringing hope and international focus to Angola’s recovery.
