He was born 15 September 1984 and is third in the line of succession to the thrones of 16 Realms including Australia Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
His mother died in 1997. Prince Harry, then 13 walked with his brother, father and grandfather behind the funeral cortège from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey .After schools and a gap year in Australia and Lesotho, where he worked with orphaned children and produced the documentary film The Forgotten Kingdom, Prince Harry, enlisted in the Army . He was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry Regiment.
The British Ministry of Defence and Clarence House made a joint announcement on 22 February 2007 that Prince Harry would be deployed with his regiment to the front line in Iraq and served for 77 days on the front line in the Afghan War.
To protect his unit from excessive attention by the enemy, the Department of Defence withdrew him after his presence was revealed by an Australian magazine.He is to be best man at his older brother Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton to Kate Middleton on 29 April 2011.
In October 2008, to pass the tests to fly military helicopters and was presented with his wings by his father on 7 May 2010.
Having since passed his Apache flying test, it is reported that he may return to Afghanistan.
...sense of duty permeates...
Washington Post correspondent, Marie Cocco wrote in the ContraCostaTimes on 1 March 2007, under this telling headline: “U.S. upper class more stuck up than Britain's royalty, ” that that it takes no nostalgia for the Crown to hear the honour in Prince Harry’s vow -- and to wince at the contrast with the US much larger force in Iraq, from which, she declares, the sons and daughters of the American well-heeled and the well-known are largely absent.
She says this sense of duty in the Royal Family is no new thing. Older generations remember it in the Second World War, when The King and The Queen, as well as the Royal Family, stayed with the people. Prince Harry’s grandfather and his father saw distinguished service. More recently, in the Falklands war, Prince Harry’s uncle, Prince Andrew, also rode, or perhaps more correctly, flew into battle.
Prince Harry encapsulates a long standard in our Royal Family, a sense of service. This is complemented by a strong sense of charity, of helping those less fortunate than he.

Prince Harry has been promoted to the rank of Captain. He enlisted in 2005 and is now training as an Apache helicopter pilot.
In 2007-08, he served in Afghanistan as a forward air controller directing ground attack jets in Helmand province. This was cut short because of the breach of an embargo by an Australian publication.
He wishes to return to front-line service. During a recent four day trek to the North Pole with wounded servicemen, he told the BBC that it would be pointless for him to have undertaken such costly training if he could not be on active duty.
"You become a very expensive asset, the training's very expensive and they wouldn't have me doing what I'm doing," he said. "I'd just be taking up a spare place for somebody else if they didn't have me going out on the job."
The Prince was awarded the coveted Apache Badge from his squadron commander on Thursday. A spokesman for St James's Palace confirmed to the media that the Prince had passed an eight-month "conversion to type" course to learn how to fly the Apache helicopter while at the Army Aviation Centre (AAC) at Middle Wallop, Hampshire.
The helicopter is used by UK forces in Afghanistan to search for the Taliban, intelligence-gathering and to provide support to other helicopters.
Prince Harry interviews well. Here he is interviewed from the Arctic for the American network ABC TV, broadcast on 31 March 2011.
He discusses his work on behalf of disabled soldiers and the families of the deceased. He also answers questions about Prince William's wedding to Ms. Catherine Middleton, and his role as Best Man.
