Prince Harry to meet injured servicemen

PRINCE HARRY will meet a team of British injured servicemen and women in Washington today.

Harry has flown to the US capital to learn about the efforts of the group, who have taken part in a Paralympic-style event called the Warrior Games.

He will also receive a humanitarian prize for his charitable work supporting the UK’s wounded military personnel.

The Warrior Games is an annual event hosted by the US Olympic Committee where wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans compete in Paralympic sporting events.

More than 200 competitors took part in the games last week and the UK squad competed in five sports - archery, cycling, swimming, track and field and sitting volleyball.

Members of the UK team, which was funded and supported by the charity Help For Heroes, and some of their American competitors will meet the prince this evening at the residence of Britain’s Ambassador to America Sir Peter Westmacott.
