Prince Harry has said he wants to be a champion of 'wounded warriors' - servicemen and women who have been injured in combat - and today he had his first assignment in the U.S. - as he toured one of the country's largest military medical centers.
Harry's visit to the the Walter Reed National Military Center in Maryland came on the second day of his week-long U.S. tour, which kicked off with visits to Capitol Hill and the White House yesterday, before he paid his respects to fallen soldiers at Arlington Cemetery in Virginia yesterday morning.
The President himself was out of town during today's reception, but Mrs Obama seemed delighted to welcome British royalty to the White House.

Harry's attendance had been kept a secret from the 170 guests in advance and made his way to the presidential home in an extensive convoy as the youngsters enjoyed afternoon tea.
