Prince Harry reveals he showed Archie, 5, pictures of Princess Diana’s famous landmine walk: Got ‘to talk about my mum’
Prince Harry is reflecting on the important work his late mother, Princess Diana partook in.The Duke of Sussex, 40, shared how a conversation about the Invictus Games with his son, Prince Archie, 5, went in a “different” direction and morphed into a chat about the tyke’s late grandmother, who died at age 36 in 1997.During the 2025 Invictus Games, Prince Harry spoke with CTV about how he explained the adaptive sporting competition for sick, wounded and injured service personnel and veterans to Archie and Princess Lilibet, 3.“You either shut it down straight away, which I would never do, or you engage in the conversation and you try to explain things,” Prince Harry, who is married to Meghan Markle, 43, said. “Archie was asking about landmines, so I was talking about how some of these guys [Invictus Games participants] were blown up.”He continued, “I think IEDs are probably a bit too much at this point, but I found myself talking to him about mines when he was 5 years old.”But the discussion quickly turned into how Princess Diana famously walked through a landmine field in Angola that was being cleared by the Halo Trust to raise awareness of the issue in 1997.“Interestingly, it gave me a chance to talk about my mum, his grandma, which I didn’t even really consider,” Harry recalled.
