Edward Lane Fox, a senior associate for RLM Finsbury in London, has been named private secretary to the U.K.'s Prince Harry ahead of his trip to the U.S.

Prince HarryFox, 36, who serves as chief of staff to RLM chairman Roland Rudd and, like Harry, was in the British Army, takes responsibility for handling the official business of Harry, including visits and functions.

Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, principle private secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, previously handled Prince Harry's affairs. Paddy Haverson, a former Financial Times journalist, is Harry's longtime communications secretary. 

Harry, third in line of succession to the throne and a pilot in the British Army, is slated to visit the U.S. in May to support British and U.S. troops injured in combat.

His last U.S. trip, for helicopter training in 2012, garnered negative attention for the royal family around the world after he was photographed naked at a Las Vegas hotel.
