Duke of Sussex Ventures to Angola Solo, Wife Duchess Meghan Chooses Domestic Comfort Instead
In a poignant continuation of his mother's legacy, Prince Harry has journeyed back to Angola, a country he previously visited in 2019. This time, he is lending his support to the charity "HALO Trust," a dedicated organisation working tirelessly to clear landmines from the war-torn nation.
Angola still bears the scars of its 27-year civil war, which ended in 2002, leaving over 1,000 minefields scattered across the country. Since then, more than 120,000 mines and 100,000 bombs have been defused, yet at least 60,000 people have been killed or injured by landmines since 2008 alone.
Prince Harry's mission in Angola is personal. He crossed a minefield in the country while wearing a blue protective vest, an act that underscores the emotional significance of his mother's legacy to him. However, his wife, Meghan Markle, remains out of the spotlight due to security concerns.
The HALO Trust, an organisation also supported by Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, aims to clear all mines in Angola by 2025. James Cowan, the CEO of the HALO Trust, emphasised, "We will continue our work in solidarity with the Angolan people until the last mine is cleared."
The security concerns are said to have been the main reason why Harry and his father, King Charles, did not speak to each other for a long time. These concerns are so significant that Harry does not even allow Meghan to travel to England. An insider told the Daily Mirror that it was "out of the question" for Meghan to accompany Harry on his Angola trip due to the landmine risks.
The ongoing security concerns of Harry and Meghan have been preoccupying them since their withdrawal from the royal family in 2020. While Prince Harry is in Angola supporting the HALO Trust and recreating his mother's landmine walk, Meghan remains in California. The couple has been adopting a strategy of attending events separately, partly due to parenting priorities and focusing on different areas of work.
In the meantime, a new website and WhatsApp channel of a news outlet is offering great entertainment news to those seeking a distraction from the serious matters at hand.
Celebrities like Prince Harry continue to show their commitment to important causes, such as the removal of landmines in Angola, as part of their entertainment efforts. Despite the ongoing security concerns, his wife, Meghan Markle, remains out of the public eye during Prince Harry's mission to Angola.
