Принц Гаррі пройшов по мінному полю в Анголі – ФОТО

На кадрах принц одягнений в синій спеціальний бронежилеті і захисну каску.

Раніше табір Анголи в 1997 році відвідала матір Гаррі – принцеса Діана, яка приїжджала в регіон в рамках своєї гуманітарної місії.

“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 uninhabitable 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 Photo©️PA

Цікаво, що в ході свого візиту принц не тільки формально відвідав місце, але і взяв безпосередню участь в спостереженні за розмінуванням табору, яке було організовано з боку благодійної організації "Halo Trust".

Більш того, монарх взяв безпосередню участь в дистанційному підриві мін, залишивши аналогічний слід своєї присутності на території Анголи, слідуючи традиціям власної матері.

In Angola today The Duke of Sussex has sought to continue his mother’s legacy and highlight the ongoing threat of landmines, 22 years after The Princess of Wales did the same. The Duke joined @thehalotrust on an ex-artillery base near Dirico and as they worked to clear the area for the local community. The Duke also took time today to welcome the Luengue-Luiana National Park as the newest member of the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy – Her Majesty’s (@theroyalfamily) campaign to protect forests and plant millions of trees across the globe. These forests in Angola will help protect an ancient elephant migration route, and hopefully encourage the animals back to the region. Angola, once home to over 200,000 elephants before the country's civil war, now has the potential to provide elephants with the largest home range remaining in Africa. Safe passages, or ‘elephant corridors’ will have to be created so they can return naturally, without danger to the communities or the lands themselves. The Duke has been involved in @queenscanopy projects in the UK, the Caribbean, New Zealand, Australia, Botswana, and Tonga, and firmly believes that protecting and planting trees is vital to look after the earth’s eco-system. #RoyalVisitAngola Video © SussexRoyal

Нагадаємо, як повідомляв раніше "УРА-Інформ", в Великобританії внучка Єлизавети II принцеса Беатриса оголосила про заручини.

За її словами, вони будуть щасливі провести все своє життя разом. Також варто відзначити, що пара побралася на початку вересня, а весілля заплановане на 2020 рік. Однак точної дати святкування поки невідомо.
