Princess Diana Could’ve Died During Landmine Visit If Photographer Accidentally Detonated A Mine

Princess Diana’s walkabout on a landmine in Angola was actually very dangerous. In fact, it has now been revealed that she could’ve been killed during that time if photographers weren’t careful.

While speaking with The Telegraph, Paul Heslop, the man who organized the Princess of Wales’ walkabout, said that he was very worried and scared during that outing. If he said that if things weren’t handled very well, he would’ve been known as the person who blew up the late royal.

“I thought: ‘This is definitely going to be one of the highlights of my life, people will be asking about it for years afterward.’ But I did have a moment of: ‘Oh God, if I [expletive] this up, I’ll be the man who blew up Princess Diana… I’ll have infamy forever… My biggest fear was that a photographer would sneak to get a picture and accidentally detonate a mine,” he said.

Luckily, the very dangerous walkabout was a huge success. Princess Diana didn’t any face any form of physical danger, but she was criticized for what she did. And decades later, Prince Harry also did the exact same thing.

Meghan Markle’s husband was photographed walking on the same spot that his late mother walked on in Angola. And just like Princess Diana, the Duke of Sussex was also very safe the entire time.

But unlike the time that Princess Diana was in Angola, Prince Harry no longer saw the landmines in action. The spot where he walked on has been transformed into a lively street, which is now called the Princess Diana street.

“This historic commitment is a key step forward for the movement to rid the world of landmines and lead the foundation for a safe and just future for the next generations. Landmines are an unhealed scar of war… By clearing the landmines, we can help this community find peace, and with peace comes opportunity,” Prince Harry said in a statement.
