British royal Prince Harry detonated a mine and met community members during a visit to Angola Friday.
Harry’s late mother Princess Diana visited the site to draw the world’s attention to clear mines left during Angola’s civil war in 1997.
“This minefield here in Luengue-Luiana National Park is the first of 153 that will be cleared in the two national parks of South Eastern Angola”, the Duke of Sussex said.
