Today the Duke met with the President of Angola and learned about pioneering work on the transmission of HIV/AIDS from mothers to their babies which is championed by the country's First Lady Ana Dias Lourenco.
Uniformed military saluted the Duke of Sussex as he first arrived for an audience with leader João Lourenço at the presidential palace in Luanda, Angola, on sixth day of his royal tour of Africa.
Harry later visited a hospital to see the HIV project spearheaded by First Lady Lourenco, who he met yesterday evening during a reception at the British ambassador's residence.
Posting on Instagram account SussexRoyal, the Prince said the trip to Angola had been very important to him and he thanked the president for 'incredibly warm welcome.'
He wrote: 'The trip has been very important to The Duke, allowing him to see the impact his mother has had, and also highlight issues that are so important to him, especially continuing her work to rid the world of land mines.'

Prince Harry started the emotional pilgrimage to Angola yesterday where his late mother launched an anti-landmine campaign, her last major crusade before her untimely death.
Tragically, the princess never saw her work to secure a global ban on the weapons come to fruition.
But yesterday her adored son retraced her footsteps, donning the same protective body armour and visor she did 22 years earlier to detonate a device in a partially-cleared field in Dirico, in the south east of the country.
Harry walked into an area that was once an artillery base for anti-government forces who had mined the position in 2000, during the decades-long civil war that tore the country apart.
It is reported that the Prince met with President Lourenço to discuss continuing the campaign to remove landmines from the country.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex yesterday visited the Princess Diana Orthopaedic Centre in Huambo, Angola, which has been named in honour of his late mother
Earlier yesterday the Duke of Sussex walked through a minefield in Dirico, Angola, during a visit to see the work of landmine clearance charity the Halo Trust
Harry's mother Diana visited a minefield in Angola in January, 1997. The Princess of Wales visited Huambo to bring global attention to the crisis of landmines and the people whose lives were being destroyed
Like all those visiting the site, which is being cleared by The Halo Trust, the same landmine clearance charity that worked with Dianna, Harry had been given a safety briefing and told not stray of the cleared lanes, touch anything or run.
Speaking afterwards the prince said: ‘Landmines are an unhealed scar of war. By clearing the landmines we can help this community find peace, and with peace comes opportunity.’
He and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, also posted a message on their official Instagram page in which they honoured his mother’s work which ‘helped change the course of history’.
They added: ‘The Duke is humbled to be visiting a place and a community that was so special to his mother, and to recognise her tireless mission as an advocate for all those she felt needed her voice the most, even if the issue was not universally popular.’
