Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor, Duke of Sussex, born 15 September 1984, is a British royal. He is the sixth in line of succession to the British throne, being the younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Harry was born in London’s St Mary’s Hospital and attended Wetherby School, Ludgrove School, and Eton College. He spent parts of his gap year in Australia and Lesotho before enrolling at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for officer training. He joined the Blues and Royals as a cornet and served with his brother Prince William for a short time before completing troop leader training. Harry spent nearly 10 weeks in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in 2007–2008. In 2012–2013, he returned to Afghanistan with the Army Air Corps for a 20-week mission. He resigned from the army in June 2015.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, William’s younger brother, also graduated from Eton with two A-Levels, earning a B in art and a D in geography after deciding to quit history of art after AS level.

He’s been dubbed a “a top tier athlete” for his competitive polo and rugby union experience. Harry does not have a university degree, but he did attend the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for 10 months of officer commissioning training.

He also spent a year preparing to join the British Army’s Blues and Royals unit prior to that.

He is one of the eight grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth II. He grew up in a world of opulence and wealth that most people could only imagine. While Harry resembles his brother, Prince William, and his cousins in many ways, he is unique in one way. In fact, of all the queen’s adult grandchildren, Harry has the least formal schooling.

Harry desired to serve his nation with his fellow troops on the front lines. As a result, from 2007 to 2013, he was sent to Afghanistan several times. Due to his high-profile status, he was only able to serve for a few months at a time until his presence was discovered and he was forced to leave.
