His reaction was so, so lovely.
Prince Harry spoke about eco-tourism, and how it could take the place of their existing oil and gas industries.Harry said he was"especially proud" to follow in his mother's footsteps Early this morning, Prince Harry visited a mine field in Dirico, Angola, and the work of charity Halo Trust to clear the area. His walk through landmine-cleared area echoed his mother, Princess Diana, as she made a similar walk when she visited a mine field in Angola .
During his speech, Harry had a new message for the gathered crowd, speaking to one of the most important causes he's highlighted so far on the tour—climate change. He said,"By clearing the landmines we can help this community find peace and with peace comes opportunity. Eco tourism will bring more jobs to Angola in the future than its oil and gas industries." This feel so, so important to me, and an important update to the work his mother did.
According to the Sussex Royal Instagram account,"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." The account also used Diana's original quote in 1997:"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."
