Prince Harry Awarded Humanitarian Award For War Veteran Charity Work

What Has Harry Done Now?

Prince Harry has been awarded a prestigious humanitarian prize for his charitable work supporting the UK's injured servicemen and women.

The 27-year-old is being recognised for his efforts championing Forces charities like Walking With The Wounded, ABF The Soldiers' Charity and Help For Heroes.

Harry will fly to the US capital, Washington, next month to receive the honour from the Atlantic Council, a body which promotes transatlantic co-operation and international security.

St James's Palace said in a statement: "Prince Harry will use the award to pay tribute to British and American veterans' charities for their achievements in helping to rehabilitate wounded servicemen and women and to reintegrate those who have served in the Armed Forces into civilian life."

Harry has chosen to accept the award on behalf of himself and his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, as William is also a committed supporter of Britain's Armed Forces, and through their Foundation both Princes tackle the issue of caring for disabled and wounded servicemen and women.
