Aυτή ήταν μια από τις πιο συγκλονιστικές διαδρομές που έκανε ο Δούκας του Sussex, όχι μόνον επειδή τόλμησε να περπατήσει μέσα σε ένα ναρκοπέδιο κάτι που από μόνο του είναι εξαιρετικά επικίνδυνο, αλλά επειδή το ίδιο ακριβώς είχε κάνει και η μητέρα του, η Diana, τη χρονιά που σκοτώθηκε σε τροχαίο δυστύχημα, το 1997.

Ο Harry μαζί με τη Meghan και το γιο τους Archie βρίσκονται σε επίσημη περιοδεία στην Αφρική και ανάμεσα σε άλλες επισκέψεις και εμφανίσεις τους, ο Δούκας του Sussex, βρέθηκε στο ίδιο ναρκοπέδιο που πριν 22 χρόνια περπάτησε η μητέρα του και το οποίο έχει καθαριστεί μερικώς, φόρεσε προστατευτική μάσκα και εξάρτηση και βάδισε στα χνάρια της προκαλώντας μεγάλη συγκίνηση.

Τότε η Lady D, είχε κάνει παγκόσμια έκκληση για την απαγόρευση των ναρκών με την τόσο γενναία αυτή πράξη της. Στον επίσημο λογαριασμό των Sussex στο Instagram ανέβηκαν δυο αναρτήσεις, μία με φωτογραφία της Diana και μία με μία του Harry. To μήνυμα που θέλουν να στείλουν είναι να απαγορευτούν τα όπλα και να προστατευθεί η ζωή των ανθρώπων αλλά κυρίως των παιδιών, ενώ τα ναρκοπέδια είναι δείγματα πολέμου και δεν επιτρέπουν στις κοινωνίες να επουλώσουν τα τραύματά τους και να βρουν την ειρήνη.

“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
