Prince Harry Arrives Angola To Walk Across Landmine Field

Harry arrived in Angola today for a mission with the Halo Trust, the landmine-clearing charity famously supported by his late mother, Princess Diana, 28 years ago. His visit aims to spotlight the organization's work and build on his personal commitment to the cause.

However, unlike his mother's iconic 1997 visit, Harry made this trip alone. Insiders say he felt it was too dangerous for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to join him, especially given ongoing concerns about their security during public appearances.

"The duke won't let his wife go to England over security concerns, so there was no chance he'd allow her to go to Angola to walk across landmines," an insider told the Daily Mail.

Harry's journey began at Luanda Airport, after which he boarded a series of light aircraft headed for the remote areas marked for mine clearance.

The duke hopes his visit will draw attention to the cause and encourage the Angolan government to increase its financial backing for the organization's work.

"Usually, these trips help to drive a bit more money from the government," the insider noted.

When Harry became a patron of the Halo Trust in 2019, the Angolan government committed £46 million [$61.5 million] towards building wildlife corridors and safeguarding endangered species in protected areas.

The country also set an ambitious goal to rid its land of all landmines by 2025, a target Harry reportedly hopes to help accelerate with his latest visit.

Angola, a nation on Africa's southwest coast, endured a devastating 27-year civil war that ended in 2002.

Decades later, the scars of conflict remain, with vast stretches of countryside still littered with hidden landmines.

Since 1994, the Halo Trust has cleared over 123,000 mines in Angola, working to convert former battlegrounds into farmland, nature reserves, and "safe" villages.

Harry's visit is expected to echo the powerful moment his mother, Princess Diana, created in 1997 when she famously walked through a minefield wearing protective Halo gear.

The images of that bold act captured global attention, especially as Diana tragically died in a car crash later that same year.

Although some speculated that Meghan would join the trip, sources close to the duke confirm that won't be happening. According to insiders, beyond concerns for Meghan's safety, Prince Harry prefers to keep his involvement with the Halo Trust personal and somewhat private.

"Halo is really his thing, it means so much to him to be patron, and he just wants to keep his work with them to himself," a source shared.

Harry's latest trip also comes at a time when he's eager to shift attention away from ongoing tensions with the Royal Family. Instead, he hopes to spotlight Halo's innovative use of AI and drone technology, tools that are revolutionizing landmine clearance efforts.

While a speech is reportedly planned for later today, British media outlets won't be in attendance — a decision made by Halo, with Harry's approval. Yet despite the press restrictions, the visit is still expected to draw significant global attention.

He’s a vile cunt.

He made the right decision to protect his wife from those well-known anti-Meghan Markle terrorist groups in Angola, an ex-Portuguese territory famous for its deep hatred of American mixed-race former actresses.

Of all events not to bring Meghan, he chooses this one? All of his problems could have gone poof. He's much dumber than I thought.

She should be there, too. What kind of a humanitarian is she?

"You first, Meghan. I'm right behind you."

This could be the "Paris tunnel" that Charles and William have been waiting for, for Harry.

I used to be HRH Prince Henry of Wales.

Now I'm just the Duke of Sussex.

You'll be lucky if you even get that much from your grandfather and father.

I love Diana--still miss her.

However, for Christ's sakes Harry--get your own thing. Find something you like to do and pursue it. You have more money and privilege than most, and yet you can't find your path. You are squandering your time by wallowing directionless and grifting at every opportunity. And let's not even get started on your lying, grifter wife. She's horrible. (and so are you). It's fine to pay tribute to your mother, but it seems like that's all you know how to do in order to be relevant.

You had the world by the balls, and you blew it. Stay in the house and remain a house husband if you don't know anything else to do than to slag off your family.

This makes me think that he doesn't have much of an identity beyond Diana and the BRF.

Oh honey, poor old Granddad will be dead before I'm an adult, but he's already talked about making me Duchess of Edinburgh in my own right when Uncle Edward is dead. I'm the apple of my father's eye.

You? Not so much.

R11 This has been Megz and Haz's problem for years now....they don't. This one of the reasons they allegedly leaked the so-called peace talks...they only matter so long as they have some kind of attachment to the BRF.

Dear Uncle H-

I am so sorry (but unsurprised) to hear that you have no previous knowledge of the upgraded title "Princess Royal," which is currently held by your aunt and will eventually await me.

I hope all is well in California and your condition improves.

For your next trip, please keep in mind that Darfur has landmines too and much cuter orphans than Angola. I'll happily guide you to safety across a landmine field if there's a ticket to LAX waiting for me on the other side!

To be fair, walking slowly across a field would rank among Harry's major life accomplishments.

Good for him to highlight an issue that still is of concern in 2025.

Still, he looks like he is cosplaying his mother in the photo.
