Prince Harry just took a powerful step in his mother’s legacy days after his peace summit with King Charles.
On Tuesday, July 15, the Duke of Sussex travelled to Angola to visit the same landmine fields Princess Diana famously walked 28 years ago, continuing his work with the Halo Trust.
According to The Daily Mail, Harry, 40, landed in Luanda before heading to the remote areas cleared by the charity. His visit aimed to boost government funding for mine removal efforts ahead of Angola’s 2025 deadline to clear all landmines.
But one key figure was missing from Harry’s trip: his wife Meghan Markle.
Instead, the Duchess of Sussex chose to stay back in her Montecito home with their kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 4. She even shared a relaxed photograph of her cosy “summer afternoons” with her rescue dog, Mia, on her As Ever Instagram page.
A source told The Mail that Harry ruled out his wife joining the trip due to security fears, stating, “The duke won't let his wife go to England over security concerns, so there was no chance he'd allow her to go to Angola to walk across landmines.”
There may have been another reason too. “Halo is really his thing,” another insider said. “It means so much to him… he just wants to keep his work with them to himself.”
The Suits alum has previously skipped Halo events, including a 2023 UN meeting in New York.
Harry’s Angola visit comes on the heels of a low-key meeting between Sussex aides and King Charles's team in London, a move experts say signals the start of a possible reconciliation.
However, Harry's tensions with his brother Prince William reportedly still remain high.
