Prince Harry will be honoured for his charity efforts helping vulnerable children at the prestigious Life Ball in New York.

The 30-year-old Prince's Sentebale charity will be awarded the 2015 Swarovski Crystal of Hope award at the event in May.

The glitzy event is set to rival the MET Ball, and could see Harry party with the likes of Kate Moss, Charlize Theron, Antonio Banderas, and Bill Clinton, who have all attended in the past.

Life Ball founder Gery Keszler told the Daily Mail newspaper: "We always select programmes to receive this award that are relatively unsung heroes, doing interesting, innovative and important work but not yet well-known.

"This award not only donates substantial funds, but also brings an international spotlight to the work. I will be visiting the programme in April, which helps children living with HIV/AIDS educationally, emotionally and physically - it is really exceptional and we are proud to be working with them."

Harry co-founded the AIDS charity with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 to support underprivileged children in his country through healthcare and education.
