Britain’s Prince Harry is coming to Washington, DC.

The red-haired younger son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles is scheduled to collect an award for humanitarian work supporting military personnel presented by The Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan think tank focused on NATO and U.S.-European security issues. He will accept the award on behalf of The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry at this year’s May 7 gala, according to a Monday release.
