On a poignant visit to Angola, Prince Harry met Sandra Thijika, a landmine victim he met 22 years ago, when his mother Princess Diana famously walked through a minefield in 1997.
During his visit, Harry spent time with people maimed by landmines laid during the country's civil war. He met Sandra, who was famously pictured sitting on Diana's knee, at an orthopaedic workshop in Luanda.
"I think I met Princess Diana on a Tuesday, she came to the centre and she wanted to see how a change of prosthetic limb was done," Sandra said, recalling the visit.
"At that time I was very small, I was a very tiny girl and they started measuring my knee so they could see how the prosthetic would fit. Princess Diana was watching this process and she started crying as she watched me getting measured for a new prosthetic," she added.
Harry opened a hospital renamed in Diana's honour during his visit. Angola has pledged to invest Sh6.1 billion (£48 million) into the work of the landmine clearing charity Halo Trust.
"I know you will never get your leg back, but I hope with the president's contribution...you will have some peace of mind," Harry told Sandra, who is now a mother-of-five.
She told the Duke she had five children, and the royal seemed taken aback and asked for their ages. She told him, speaking through an interpreter: "I have a daughter, I named her after Diana."
Harry sounded a positive note, telling her: "Your children will be growing up to your age and there won't be any landmines."
On September 30, 2019, Princess Diana walked through a partially cleared minefield in Angola to raise awareness about the issue of landmines.
