Prince Harry arrived in Angola on Tuesday. Or, as seemingly every British outlet reported the news, “Prince Harry made a surprise trip to Angola without his wife Meghan!” Remember last year, when Harry traveled to New York, South Africa and Lesotho solo and the British media banged their heads against the wall, wailing “where’s Meghan, why didn’t she come with him??” Yeah, it’s the same thing this week. They’ll always go on and on about it whenever Harry goes solo. Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales is committed to “only traveling internationally for vacations.” And they won’t say a word about it.
Something else weird to me is that everyone is collectively acting like this is Harry’s first time in Angola. It is not. He was last in Angola in 2019, where he was doing work with his patronage, The Halo Trust. During that trip, he walked through a minefield, much like his mother did in 1997. Harry also went to Mozambique in 2010 on behalf of The Halo Trust, where he also did a walk through a minefield. I’m including some of the 2019 minefield photos below.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Harry stopped by the office of Angola’s President João Lourenço, and they did a nice meet and greet, plus it looks like they had a sit-down meeting too. I like how the Angolan embassy used Harry’s full name: Henry Charles Albert David!! I always forget that he’s really a Henry!

Uh oh. Someone’s doing global statesman things again. Better hide those cushions at Adelaide Cottage!
I’m old enough to remember when his mother walked through the mine field and what a powerful image it was. It really hit home how much more compassionate and substantive she was than the trash royal family. It’s nice that Harry continues the tradition and continues to remind us of how useless, soft and selfish the leftovers are.
I also remember the shit Diana got from the same rats that now torment her son: how attention-seeking she must be and turning the landmine field into a fashion show.
If only Lazy had Diana’s work ethic. But she doesn’t. Where Diana is brave, Lazy remains a coward devoid of public duty. Taxpayers need to stop funding her and Willy.
@Blogger, yeah people all forgot. While we are now reading nice things about Diana’s work, she was criticized to the skies for her work. The same reporters called her names (dumb, attention-seeker) and even got the british politicians on the record to insult her while reporting her work.
They treat Meghan the same way whoever she does anything philanthropic. She’s “attention seeking, a disaster tourist” although they can’t use the dumb card, that’s reserved for Harry. Same playbook from the same terrible people that tormented Diana.
She got a LOT of flak (no pun intended) for her work on landmines. What people also do not remember is that, something like a month after her death, an international ban on landmines was passed. Her death, while tragic in the classical sense of the word, actually meant something. She accomplished great things in her 16 years in the spotlight that actually changed the world (AIDS, landmines).
Harry continuing his mother’s work. Will the incandescent one be on the phone trying to set up a meeting with an African country president? Africa is mine Harry!!
You know, if Trump can change the Gulf of Mexico’s name to suit his ego, maybe Willie can consult with him to find a way to name change the continent to “William’s Africa”. They really are so alike.
Yes they truly are!!
The global statesman in action – Harry doing his bit for world peace and diplomacy. How at ease he looks. These heads of state want their photo-ops and personal meetings with Harry!
Meanwhile, the lights are on but no one’s home in Willy’s palaces. Must take the Uber chopper for a ride or take the Grosvenor jet for a holiday somewhere 😂
When the press says that Harry doesn’t do anything that’s them doing a wish fulfillment. In their minds if he’s not doing royal duties he’s jobless and aimless. And for the derangers Harry continuing to do this type of work means that he wants to be a working royal even though he has never supported his charities and has said he has no interest in becoming a working royal again. I think it was interesting to see a lot of the royal rota tweeting about this trip and that there’s no sneering about a faux royal tour. I wonder why?
They say it’s a faux royal tour when Meghan is with him because they want to project the idea that she desperately wants to be royal adjacent even though she’s royal through marriage and she was doing things like this before Harry. They want to place her in this bubble that they created by ignoring that she’s better at being royal than the left behind royals and it was obvious before she met Harry. Harry saw who she really was from the very beginning and knew she would be great at tge role and even he admitted that she’s better at it than those who were born royal. Her haters don’t want others to realize that. The same thing with Harry. Harry has always been better at being royal than the others. It was even evident as a young child that he had something special about him. I can think of at least five instances as a young child that he managed to grab the attention of the crowds, the first being him waving to the crowds as they were leaving the balcony and the tremendous roar heard from the crowd that made the other royals turn around to see what was happening. Harry was fortunate that he was neglected by the institution and was nurtured by Diana instead because that is why he is truly Diana’s son and William is the son Charles deserves and got.
Meghan is now royal in her own right … she’s a Nigerian princess.
now THIS is a global statesman.
I’m sure his mother is looking down with pride and love at how he continues her legacy.
Harry stays true to the causes that are close to his heart. Love to see it. ❤️
Cue William showing his face at a “surprise” event today to pretend he cares. Unless KP posts about a “private” event or one of the pre-packaged one’s they keep on file for when W&K are on vacation.
Love that he continues his mothers work.. what an amazing team he and his mother would have made had she been allowed to live her life.
And that, my friends, is a real Global Statesman in action.
Diana’s juju was distributed quite unevenly amongst her children.
Seriously.
At least Charles has one Global Statesman son, even if it’s not the heir.
The rota have been writing that Meghan has been busy with her money making ventures and there’s no room for Harry there and what’s Harry going to do with himself. Well, this is what he’s doing with himself. He’s an influence on the world stage. He is doing substantive work just like his mother wanted to do but was sabotaged. It’s just roiling the whole royal apparatus that they can’t sabotage him too
Well so much for the “Harry has no purpose” narrative. Good for you Harry, keep blowing the rats out of the water!
His mother’s son. 😭
He looks so much like his mother in these photos.
What a brave, dedicated soul. He is courage and compassion in action.
Whilst incandescent Willy is spiralling and raging in the media over a “CH&H peace attempt” (as ever, cowardly through his media stenographers), literally the entire world, the (digital) media on every continent, is reporting on Prince Harry’s anti-landmine visit to Angola, in combination with his late mum Princess Diana’s work on the matter.
The real global statesman in action … again; he arrived without any prior leaking to the press, and no big-up of his ego by any sycophantic press. The recognition and honouring of this leader comes natural.
