LONDON (AP) -- Royal officials say Prince Harry is to receive the Atlantic Council Award for Distinguished Humanitarian Leadership in Washington D.C. on May 7.

The palace says Harry will accept the award for the charity work he and his brother Prince William have been doing through their foundation.
