It's been 22 years since Princess Diana walked through a partially-cleared minefield in Angola.
Two decades on, her son Prince Harry has followed in his mother's footsteps, walking through an Angola minefield to raise awareness of the persistent threat posed by landmines today.
"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," reads a post on the official SussexRoyal Instagram.
"During his visit today, The Duke will walk along the street which was once the minefield where his mother was famously pictured," the post continued.

In 1997, Princess Diana visited the city of Huambo to raise awareness of the landmine crisis that was causing devastation in countries affected by conflict.

Per Landmine Monitor figures, the threat of unexploded landmines still looms today: 120,000 people were killed or injured by devices between 1999 and 2017.

"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," Diana said in 1997.

Princess Diana's historic visit resulted in the Convention against Anti-Personal Landmines, also referred to as the Ottawa Treaty.
