As Prince Harry returns to the US for the first time since photos of him naked in Las Vegas emerged it’s hoped his trip will overshadow previous events and the focus will be firmly fixed on the work he will be doing there.
The royal’s first stop will be in Washington DC where he will meet with members of landmine charity Halo Trust. This cause was close to his mother’s heart and she bravely visited minefields that were being cleared in Angola in 1997.
