|Prince Harry has issued a new statement after his solo trip to Angola last week.
"Nearly three decades after Diana, Princess of Wales, brought global attention to the dangers of landmines, Prince Harry walked in her footsteps – and alongside Angola’s leaders – to support the country’s efforts to clear the final remnants of war."
The briefing included a statement from Prince Harry that he gave after participating in a landmine safety education session in the remote village of Mawano.
The Duke of Sussex said: “As a father to young children, it breaks my heart to see innocent children still living and playing next to minefields.
“All of us have a duty to protect children and future generations from the harms of war, both present and past."

During a meeting in Luanda with President João Lourenço, Prince Harry praised Angola’s visionary leadership: "This commitment is about more than removing deadly devices.
"It’s about unlocking potential in a country that has so much—enabling children to walk to school safely, allowing farmers to grow crops, attracting sustainable development and bringing back wildlife tourism."
At receptions hosted by the British Embassy and Angolan ministers, the Duke acknowledged the critical need for support from international donors, including the UK, US, and private sector partners.
