Next week Washington DC will be treated to the arrival of a pro-life Catholic who is also a member of the British royal family.

Lord Windsor is coming to Washington DC in the company of Lord David Alton, a life peer, that is, his title cannot be inherited, who is one of the great pro-life heroes in Great Britain and beyond.
