Cochran, Wicker attending event with Prince Edward

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding might have passed, but next week Washington is scheduled to get one more dose of British royalty.

England’s Prince Edward is slated to attend a royal reception Monday with Sens. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), as well as Miss America 2011 Teresa Scanlan in honor of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award — The Young Americans’ Challenge. Earlier in the day, the prince is planning to meet with Education Secretary Arne Duncan, according to Josh Randle, national executive director of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
