Overview

  • He met President João Lourenço in Luanda to review a new three-year partnership aimed at accelerating landmine clearance across the country.
  • In Cuito Canavale, he led mine-awareness lessons for children, teaching them Portuguese warnings like “Stop, go back and tell an adult” to help them recognize danger.
  • Serving as HALO Trust patron since 2019, he used the trip to raise funds and international support after the group has cleared over 120,000 mines but still faces roughly 1,000 active fields.
  • His actions echo Princess Diana’s 1997 minefield walk, underscoring his ongoing commitment to her humanitarian legacy in post-conflict regions.
  • Heightened security measures kept Meghan Markle and their children in the United States, reflecting continued concerns following past legal disputes over UK protection.
