News and Updates for Prince Harry

Read all the latest updates & news about Prince Harry from Vanity Fair.

Prince Harry was born on September 15, 1984. He is the second son of King Charles III and the late Diana, Princess of Wales. He was only 12 years old when Princess Diana died in 1997, a tragedy that deeply impacted both him and his brother, Prince William.

Prince Harry attended Eton College and then completed officer training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. During a 10-year career in the army, Prince Harry served two tours in Afghanistan before leaving to focus on royal duties in 2015. Charming and cheeky, Prince Harry quickly became a royal favorite. He collaborated with Prince William and Kate Middleton to found Heads Together, an initiative focusing on mental health.

After high-profile romances with Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry married

American actress Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018, at St George’s Chapel. They were given the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The couple have two children: Prince Archie (born 2019) and Princess Lilibet (born 2021).

In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, shocked the world when they made the decision to step back as senior working royals. The Sussexes settled in Montecito, California, and founded the charitable Archewell Foundation. Prince Harry is also the founder of the Invictus Games, which hosts sporting events for those wounded in the line of duty.

In 2022, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared in the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, where they lamented their life inside the royal fold. Then Prince Harry published his best-selling memoir Spare in 2023, leading to an estrangement with most of his family. Currently fifth in line to the throne, Prince Harry continues his work as a TV producer and an advocate for mental health and anti-bullying.
