15 years on would Princess Diana lend her leg to raise mine awareness?

Just over 15 years ago I took Princess Diana walked along the paths cleared through minefields in central Angola. The funny thing is I wish I had managed to get a promise of a tenner every time a clip is shown, or I was asked "what is he?" - We will be cleaned mine more! However, instead of what he was like what is actually the more interesting question is why was there in the first place? Why he believes his life and my limbs and Angola that deminers have cleared the path through a minefield?

The first time I entered the minefield I was a little more nervous than they seem, and I do not have 70 reporters shouted to the shot right or half a billion people watching me on TV sets around the world. It's a question I wish I had asked when I had the chance.

I think he was more than aware of her power over the media world and he knows better than most that when he showed an interest in the topic around the world showing interest as well.
