The Duke of Sussex recreated Princess Diana's historic Angola landmine walk on his solo visit to the country 28 years after her trip.

Prince Harry, visiting as a patron of landmine clearance charity the Halo Trust on Wednesday (16 July), gave advice to children in a remote village near Africa’s largest minefield on avoiding detonating mines.

Speaking in Portuguese, Harry said: “Stop, go back and tell your elders.”

The Duke highlighted the threat of the munitions in Angola, the same nation Diana, Princess of Wales visited in 1997 in a plea for the world to ban the weapons.

Iconic images showed Diana, wearing a protective visor and vest, walking through a minefield being cleared by the Halo Trust.
