Cape Town (South Africa): Prince Harry visited the African nation of Angola on Tuesday with a land mine clearing charity, repeating a famous trip his mother made in 1997. Harry, the Duke of Sussex, met Angolan President Joao Lourenco on Tuesday at the start of his trip, according to a statement from the Halo Trust, an organisation that works to clear land mines from old war zones.
Princess Diana visited Angola with the Halo Trust in January 1997, just seven months before she was killed in a Paris car crash. Diana was famously photographed on that trip wearing protective equipment and walking through an active minefield during a break in fighting in Angola’s long civil war. —AP
