Принц Гарри прошёлся по минному полю в Анголе, повторив прогулку своей покойной матери принцессы Дианы.

В 1997 году поступок леди Ди сыграл серьёзную роль в работе по ограничению глобальной торговли противопехотными минами.

“If an international ban on mines can be secured it means, looking far ahead, that the world may be a safer place for this generation's grandchildren.” Princess Diana, 1997 Today in Angola The Duke of Sussex will retrace his mother’s steps to see the legacy of her work and how her connection with this community helped make the elimination of landmines a reality. In 1997 Diana Princess of Wales visited Huambo to bring global attention to the crisis of landmines and the people whose lives were being destroyed. Two decades later, the area has transformed from desolate and unhabitable to lively and vibrant, with colleges, schools and small businesses. The Duke is humbled to be visiting a place and a community that was so special to his mother, and to recognise her tireless mission as an advocate for all those she felt needed her voice the most, even if the issue was not universally popular. Princess Diana’s visit helped change the course of history, and directly led to the Convention against Anti-Personal Landmines, also known as the Ottawa Treaty. Today, with the support of @thehalotrust, Angola now has a stated aim under the Treaty to be clear of known mines by 2025. Despite great progress, 60 million people worldwide still live in fear of landmines every day. During his visit today, The Duke will walk along the street which was once the minefield where his mother was famously pictured. #RoyalTourAfrica #RoyalVisitAngola PhotoPA

Ранее News.ru писал, что находящийся с официальным визитом в Южноафриканской республике (ЮАР) принц Гарри посетил старейшую мечеть на юге Африки. Его сопровождала супруга Меган Маркл. При входе в построенную в 1794 году мечеть Авваль внук Елизаветы II снял обувь, как того требуют исламские каноны. Меган Маркл облачилась в длинное платье оливкового цвета, а голову покрыла платком.
