Prince Harry to Attend Brit Awards
(CBS)
Prince Harry is making his Brit Awards debut, CBS News entertainment contributor Neil Sean reports.
The British prince will attend the annual awards show for the first time next week, according to Sean, as part of a PR onslaught to modernize the royals.
His girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, will also be in attendance.
The Brit Awards, or the Brits, are the British Phonographic Industry's pop music awards. The honors began in 1980, making this year the award show's 30th anniversary.
