Princess Diana ‘visioned’ a world free of ‘landmines’: Prince Harry
Princess Diana wanted to work on eradicating landmines from the world
February 10, 2023
Princess Diana wanted an end to minefields towards the end of her life.
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, writes explicitly about how his late mother felt about the landmines in Africa, and wanted to get rid of them.
“This had been Mummy’s most passionate cause at the end. (She’d gone to Bosnia three weeks before she’d gone to Paris in August 1997.) Many could still remember her walking alone into a live minefield, detonating a mine via remote control, announcing bravely: “One down, seventeen million to go.” Her vision of a world rid of land mines seemed within reach back then.”
He adds: “Now the world was going backwards.”
