Prince Harry wants to fulfill Princess Diana’s landmine legacy

[ad_1]

Prince Harry revealed that fulfilling Princess Diana’s landmine legacy “is a responsibility that [he takes] incredibly seriously” in an emotional speech Monday.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, spoke at an event in NYC to support The HALO Trust, the charity which first gained international acclaim when the late Princess walked through an active landmine in Huambo, Angola, in 1997 to call for an international ban.

Harry — who earlier in the day recalled how his mom lived through “compassion” — looked visibly moved as speakers mentioned Diana and her work.

“As you know, the HALO Trust’s work in Angola meant a great deal to my mother,” Harry said, “Carrying on her legacy is a responsibility that I take incredibly seriously, and I think we all know how much she’d want us to finish this particular job.”

The renegade royal famously followed in Diana’s footsteps by walking through a minefield at the same site in 2019 during a tour of Africa with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their son, Prince Archie, now 5.

Of his own visit to Angola, Harry remarked, “Much has changed in my life and the world since 2019 when I first visited.

“In those five years, I’ve become a father for the second time. And while you don’t need children to have a stake in the future of our planet, I do know that my mother would have been horrified that anyone’s children or grandchildren would live in a world still infested with mines.”

He reminisced of his visit, “Where she [Diana] first walked in 1997, I found a bustling, vibrant town.

“I met hundreds of schoolchildren who had no idea that the ground they stood on was once riddled with landmines.

“It is moments like these that I am personally grateful for our collective efforts. Grateful for the resolve and determination to see this through.”

In 2019, the Angolan government pledged an $60 million to fund a five-year project with HALO to clear landmines from over 15 km² across 153 minefields in Cuando Cubango province.

Harry added, “We’re all here because we’re a band of true believers fighting for a mine-free world. 

“Yes, it’s an ambitious goal; we know the road ahead is long and challenging. But resigning to complacency and/or despair, are obstacles far more insurmountable.”

The HALO Trust noted that “countless thousands of lives have been saved by the 1997 global landmine ban” that followed Diana’s visit.

Harry also talked about the HALO Trust’s work in Ukraine, which is using drones to detect and disable mines.

“It’s also down to HALO’s awareness campaign, which has been viewed over 200 million times by over 15.2 million Ukrainians, that lives are being saved,” he said.

Harry is in NYC without his wife, who is at home in California with their children, Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3.

He spoke at a panel for The Diana Award Monday morning, and on Tuesday will speak at the Clinton Foundation, in addition to meetings of Travalyst and the Lesotho charity.
