Prince Harry on keeping Princess Diana’s memory alive
Prince Harry is currently in Vancouver, Canada, for the Invictus Games 2025.
During a chat with the Canadian TV channel CTV, Harry opened up about how he’s keeping his mother’s memory alive with his kids.
“It’s hard because kids don’t always ask the right questions, so you either shut it down straight away, which I will never do, or you engage in the conversation and try to explain things,” he said.

“Archie was asking about landmines so I was talking about how some of these guys were blown up,” he then continued.
“I think IEDs [Improvised explosive devices] are probably a little much at this point but I found myself talking to him about mines, he’s five years old,” he then said.

Harry reveals he spoke to son Archie about Diana
The prince then continued.
“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 said.
“He 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,” he then added.
Princess Diana famously walked through a minefield in Angola in 1997, just months before her tragic death.
The Princess of Wales also remotely detonated a live mine. After, she said: “One down, 17 million to go.”
Her actions made headlines all over the world, and it remains one of her most famous moments.
Diana said at the time: “All I am trying to do is help. I am trying to highlight a problem that is going on all around the world, that’s all.”

Prince Harry ‘felt closer’ to Princess Diana after minefield walk
In 2013, Harry re-created Diana’s walk during his own visit to Angola.
Six years later, during another trip to Africa, Harry once again, quite literally, followed in his mother’s footsteps.
The duke wrote about the experience in his 2023 autobiography, Spare.
“Taking up her cause, detonating a landmine myself, made me feel closer to her and gave me strength and hope,” he wrote.
“I was deeply frustrated to learn from the charity’s executives and fieldworkers that the job she’d spotlighted, indeed the entire global crusade my mother had helped launch, was now stalled,” he continued.
However, the 40-year-old admitted that he’d found the trip to be a “psychological minefield” and it had affected his mental health.
