Early life and education
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, was born on 15 September 1984 at St Mary’s Hospital, London, United Kingdom. As the youngest child of Charles III, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales, he has a special status in the royal family.
It is worth noting that Queen Elizabeth II was the reigning monarch when Prince Harry was born. He is sixth in line to the British throne. His grandparents are Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Frances Shand Kydd and John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer.
Prince Harry’s great-grandparents are Queen Elizabeth II, King George VI, Princess Alice of Battenberg, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, Albert Spencer, 7th Earl Spencer, Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy and Lady Cynthia Hamilton.
Prince Harry had a normal childhood with his siblings, including his older brother William, the Prince of Wales, now known as the Prince of Wales.
Prince Harry attended Jane Mynors Nursery School in London and then studied at Wetherby School and Ludgrove School in Berkshire. He eventually graduated Eton College in 2003.
Career
Prince Harry’s path took an interesting turn after he graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in April 2006. He ventured into the Blues and Royals, a prestigious armoured regiment of the British Army, marking the beginning of his military career.
In 2007, Prince Harry served as a forward air traffic controller during a deployment to Afghanistan, directing air strikes against Taliban fighters. This important experience, although hidden from the public for security reasons, demonstrated his determination and courage.
Returning to Afghanistan in 2012 as an Apache helicopter pilot, Prince Harry delved deeper into his military journey. With 20 weeks and 100 missions under his belt, he soared through the skies with dedication. His exemplary service was recognised with the Active Service Medal, a symbol of his dedication.
Fast forward to 2015, and Prince Harry is at a crossroads. He’s bid farewell to his military career, turning his energies toward the Invictus Games and new horizons. Amid the whirlwind of the 2020 US presidential election, he’s become entangled in a strange web of “online negativity,” a conspiracy of Russian comedians. His candid insights on leaving the royal family, climate change, and support for the coal industry have emerged through these interactions.
On January 18, 2020, a momentous announcement was made at Buckingham Palace. Prince Harry gracefully retired from his official military duties, moving on to new chapters. This change is not an end, but a transformation as he begins a unique trajectory, blending his story into the complex mosaic of history.
