How history repeats itself.
This time, it was Prince Harry behind a clear face mask, wearing body armor as he walked through a live minefield in Angola, the same area where, wearing similar safety gear, his mother, Princess Diana walked in 1997.

He visited the spot where the famous photo was taken of his mother, which 22 years ago was a minefield, and is now a busy street, The Associated Press reported.
"The main impact of Diana's walk in 1997 was the level of global exposure it provided for land mines not only in Angola but the world," Ralph Legg, program manager of The Halo Trust, said, according to the AP.
The Halo Trust, according to the group's website, "helps countries recover after conflict. Clearing landmines, to save lives, is at the heart of what we do."
After Dana's famous photo, the international ban on anti-personnel mines was created and signed and was enforced two years later. Land mines have been completely removed from 31 countries, more than 48 million stockpiled mines have been destroyed and 164 countries have signed the ban, the AP reported.
Angola still has 650 minefields to clear and is striving to be mine-free by 2025.
During Prince Harry's visit, the royal detonated a mine that had been found recently in order to show there are still live mines lurking under the ground, CBS News reported.

"Land mines are an unhealed scar of war," the Duke of Sussex said according to CBS News. "By clearing the land mines, we can help this community find peace, and with peace comes opportunity."
