Washington D.C. is Prince Harry's first stop in a run of three royal visits, which will also see him travelling to South Africa and Lesotho around late November.

The Prince is currently undertaking conservation work in Southern Africa; he is due to return to the UK in the middle of September, where he plans to work as a volunteer helping soldiers who have been injured in service.
