Prince Harry has carved a unique path as a philanthropist, father and military veteran.
King Charles III and Princess Diana welcomed their youngest son in September 1984, two years after the arrival of Prince William. Unlike his older brother — who became second in line to the throne after Queen Elizabeth II‘s death in September 2022 — Harry grew up with the knowledge that he is the so-called “spare.”
While his personal life has been scrutinized over the years, that didn’t stop Harry from going public with Meghan Markle in November 2016. The former helicopter pilot and the Suits alum tied the knot in May 2018 and later welcomed son Archie (born in 2019) and daughter Lilibet (born in 2021).
They eventually decided to take a step back from the royal family, giving up their roles as senior royals and moving to Montecito, California, in 2020. Despite his departure, Harry has returned home on various occasions over the years, sometimes without his wife by his side. In May 2023, Harry attended Charles’ coronation solo, though he had no official role in the ceremony.
