Prince Harry Revealed What ‘Breaks’ His Heart as a Father After Reports William Plans to Strip Archie & Lilibet of Their Royal Titles
Prince Harry has been trying to keep Princess Diana’s memory alive and continue with her legacy. That’s partly why he set out on a tour of Angola to recreate the walk that Princess Diana took across an Angola minefield in 1997. This is a continuing trend, as Prince Harry also did this in 2019 and 2024.
“As a father to young children, it breaks my heart to see innocent children still living and playing next to minefields,” the Duke of Sussex said in a statement. “All of us have a duty to protect children and future generations from the harms of war, both present and past.”

“This commitment is about more than removing deadly devices. It’s about unlocking potential in a country that has so much — enabling children to walk to school safely, allowing farmers to grow crops, attracting sustainable development and bringing back wildlife tourism,” he added.
Harry has previously called continuing his mother’s work in the region a “responsibility” he takes seriously. The Halo Trust, the organization Prince Harry is working with, has cleared 120,000 landmines in Angola that were left over from years of civil war.
Prince Harry previously told The Telegraph that Prince Archie requested to see footage of Princess Diana’s original walk that Harry recreated. “Archie was asking about landmines, so I was talking about how some of these guys were blown up,” Harry told the outlet. “Interestingly, it gave me a chance to talk about my mum, his grandma, which I didn’t even really consider, so that became the outcome of the story for him,” he added.
According to Harry, Archie “wanted to see videos and photographs of his Grandma Diana out doing her thing for landmines all those years ago. It produced a very interesting conversation between me and him, different to what I thought it would be.”
The humanitarian push comes as new reports indicate Prince Harry might be closer to reconciliation with his estranged father, King Charles, than ever. Aides for the two met recently, and Harry has been open about his desire to patch things up with both his father and his brother.
However, this new development doesn’t seem to include Prince William. And recent reports indicate the future King is ready to take big steps when he becomes King, with a friend telling The Daily Beast about Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles, “They have asked the Sussexes politely to stop using the style, to no avail, so I imagine William will simply issue new letters patent to formally remove the entire family’s right to use HRH when he becomes king.”
A former courtier even told the outlet, “Charles may not want this fight, but William despises Harry and Meghan at this stage, and when he is king, his fury will rain down on them.”
Whether that changes after recent reports that the two sides are trying to patch things up is anybody’s guess, but for now, it seems like things cannot be fixed between the brothers, even if Prince Harry and King Charles do end up reconciling.
