Prince Harry recreated a touching photo of Princess Diana in Angola.

Right: Prince Harry doing the same in 2019.In 1997 Princess Diana walked through a partially cleared minefield in Huambo, Angola, wearing a crisp white oxford and only the lightest of protective gear. Her appearance shone an unprecedented spotlight on the humanitarian crisis of landmines.
More than 20 years later, her son Prince Harry has taken on landmine removal as one of his signature causes. Today, he again brought the issue to the fore by walking through a minefield in Dirico, Angola, himself. Visual comparisons were instantly made between his actions and those of his late mother’s.
After assisting the Halo Trust charity with its de-mining efforts, Harry went to Huambo, where his mother had been. A place of devastation during the days of Diana, it’s since rebounded thanks to removal efforts. “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.
“The Duke is humbled to be visiting a place and a community that was so special to his mother, and to recognize her tireless mission as an advocate for all those she felt needed her voice the most, even if the issue was not universally popular,” the Sussexes wrote on Instagram.
