At the time, her support for an international treaty banning the use of explosive devices was seen as a political stance, but was widely regarded as one of her greatest humanitarian efforts.
The Duke made an emotional pilgrimage to Africa in 2019 to follow in the footsteps of his mother Diana, who famously walked through a partially cleared Angolan minefield in 1997 to highlight the Trust’s efforts and the threat of military munitions.

Harry also risked further fueling the rift with his estranged older brother by explaining that their late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, was now watching over him from beyond the grave as “she did her part” with Prince William and his family.
