Por

Uma imagem que faz voltar atrás duas décadas: o príncipe Harry de Inglaterra esteve num campo de minas terrestres em Angola, tal como a mãe, a princesa Diana, em 1997. Compare as fotos.

Tal como Diana, em 1997, há exatamente 22 anos, Harry está em Angola a tentar despertar a comunidade internacional para o problema das minas terrestres.

O duque de Sussex esteve num terreno minado em Dirico e juntou-se à fundação Halo Trust para dar um acesso seguro à área para a comunidade local.

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

Há 22 anos, as imagens da princesa Diana com um colete e um capacete protetores correram mundo e deram a imagem de uma princesa “de carne e osso” e muito preocupada com a problemática das minas terrestres.
