FORT BELVOIR, Va. — Britain’s Prince Harry is checking out the art and music therapy programs at a Virginia military base, where he is helping to draw attention to programs that help injured service members.

The prince was so impressed with the jazz and blues coming from a drums-and-keyboard duo that he joked, “If I played an instrument, I’d join the band.”
