Prince Harry

The second-born son to Prince Charles and Princess Diana, following his big brother Prince William, Prince Henry "Harry" Windsor was born a ginger-haired wild child who was not afraid to defy expectations, but was also an important member of the newest generation of royals, emphasizing philanthropy and service to his country along with his official royal duties. Born Sept. 15, 1984, Prince Harry was originally third in line to the British throne after his father and Prince William. (He is currently sixth in line, following Prince William's children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.) At a young age, Prince Harry often flashed a big smile when seen in public, and was dubbed the "Happy Prince." But amidst all the luxuries afforded him, his charmed life was marred by his parents' widely publicized battles and divorce, followed by the unexpected death of his beloved "Mummy" in a 1997 car crash in Paris. As a young adult, Harry was often, like many his age, perceived as more concerned with partying and good times than with more serious pursuits. Yet Harry possessed a nobler side and was also well aware of his legacy and his duties to his country. He inherited his mother's philanthropic ways and risked his life to fight on the frontlines of war, single-handedly redefining the meaning of a modern-day prince. His courtship of and subsequent November 2017 engagement to American actress Meghan Markle introduced a new, more mature Prince Harry. The Royal Wedding, which took place on May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle, was greeted by the British public with delight and happiness for the charming couple. In October of the same year, it was announced that Harry and Meghan were expecting their first child in the spring of 2019.
