Πρίγκιπας Χάρι: Περπάτησε σε ναρκοπέδιο στην Ανγκόλα όπως είχε κάνει και η μητέρα του Νταϊάνα 22 χρόνια πριν

Τα βήματα της αείμνηστης Πριγκίπισσας Νταϊάνα ακολούθησε ο Πρίγκιπας Χάρι, στην επίσκεψή του στην Ανγκόλα. Ο Πρίγκιπας θέλησε να τιμήσει τη μνήμη της μητέρα του, που πριν από 22 χρόνια (το 1997) – και λίγους μήνες πριν σκοτωθεί σε τροχαίο- είχε περπατήσει σε ναρκοπέδιο στην Αγκόλα. Και να δώσει συνέχεια στο έργο της.

Εκείνες οι φωτογραφίες της Πριγκίπισσας έμειναν εμβληματικές, κυρίως για το θάρρος της να περπατήσει σε ενεργό ναρκοπέδιο προκειμένουν να πετύχει τον σκοπό της: να ευαισθητοποιήσει

τα κράτη για τα χιλιάδες παιδιά που έχουν χάσει τη ζωή τους ή έχουν ακρωτηριαστεί παίζοντας σε τέτοια ναρκοπέδια.

Στο πλαίσιο της περιοδεία του στην Αφρική, ο Χάρι επισκέφτηκε την Αγκόλα και περπάτησε σε παρόμοιο ναρκοπέδιο, φορώντας την ίδια στολή που είχε φορέσει και η μητέρα του.

Μάλιστα, στο Instagram του Δούκας της Δούκισσας του Σάσσεξ ήταν αρχικά η φωτογραφία της Πριγκίπισσας Νταϊάνα που ανέβηκε και στη συνέχεια εκείνες του Χάρι με το μήνυμα για απογόρευση της χρήσης ναρκών και την εξαφάνιση των ναρκοπεδίων.

Following in the footsteps of his mother, Princess Diana, this morning The Duke of Sussex visited a de-mining site in Dirico, Angola, to raise awareness of the danger and prevalence of landmines that still exists today. The Duke joined @thehalotrust in their work to help clear the area to enable safe access for the local community. • “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 unhabitable 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. #RoyalVisitAfrica #RoyalVisitAngola Photo©️PA
