On July 15, Prince Harry traveled to Angola to back the HALO Trust’s mission to clear landmines.

In a tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana, he retraced her famous walk through a minefield, aiming to spotlight the dangers that active landmines still pose.

Just three days after the symbolic visit, Harry headed to neighboring Botswana—this time without Meghan Markle or their two children—to spend time with his “second family,” filmmakers Tania “TJ” Jenkins and Mike Holding.

Going “Off-Grid” in Africa

According to the Daily Mail, Harry went completely “off-grid” during his Angola stay, remaining unreachable for three days. Once his HALO Trust commitments wrapped up, he reconnected with Jenkins and Holding, whom he considers a “second mother” and a key part of his life before meeting Meghan. The trip extended to a full week away from Markle, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet.

A source shared, “He took some more time and space, and made the trip into a week-long visit to reconnect with old friends and get some headspace away from his phone and emails.” They added, “It was a good moment for Harry to take some time away from everything, enjoying total peace of mind and being somewhere so remote that he couldn’t even get emails or texts or calls.”
