Prince Harry praises the work of landmine clearance charity during coronavirus crisis

The Duke of Sussex has praised the work of the Halo Trust during the COVID-19 crisis

May 26, 2020 - 16:32 BST Danielle Stacey The Duke of Sussex has praised the work of a charity, once supported by his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, during the coronavirus crisis. Prince Harry wrote a letter to staff working for the Halo Trust, thanking them for continuing to remove landmines despite the outbreak of the virus and providing COVID-19 support to locals in countries such as Afghanistan, Somalia and Libya.

Harry made an emotional pilgrimage to Africa last September to retrace Diana's steps, who famously walked through a partially cleared Angolan minefield in 1997 to highlight the work of the Trust. The Duke walked down the former minefield in Huambo, which is now a bustling community. He also visited Dirico to see the charity's work first-hand, donning body armour and a face mask to inspect an area of bush being cleared of ordnance by Halo.

Harry added:"The fact that you can operate across conflict affected countries like Afghanistan is also a precious resource in the face of a disease that recognises no frontlines.
