Harry in DC

Prince Harry looked super-dapper tonight as he arrived in Washington to be presented with a medal on behalf of himself and William for their humanitarian work by the Atlantic Council.

Dressed in black tie, the 27-year-old Prince was greeted Atlantic Council President and CEO Frederick Kempe as he arrived for the Atlantic Council 2012 Annual Awards Dinner - a wonks' Met Ball - at a hotel in DC. In 2010, Bono was awarded the same gong.

Earlier in the day, dressed in a dark blue suit, blue shirt and blue and red striped tie, Harry met wounded veterans, some with missing limbs, who had competed in a Paralympic-style sporting event called the Warrior Games, in the garden of the British embassy.

He was introduced to Dr Jill Biden, wife of the U.S. vice-president, and British Ambassador Sir Peter Westmacott and his wife Susie Nemazee.

Just one question remains: where's the after-pary, Harry?
