In Pictures: 35 photos to mark Harry’s 35th birthday
Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales, now the Duke of Sussex, was born on September 15 1984.
The Duke of Sussex is celebrating his birthday, so here’s 35 photos to mark Harry’s 35 years.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’s youngest son was born at 4.20pm on September 15 1984, weighing 6lb 14oz.
He came into the world at the private Lindo wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, central London, in the same room where older brother Prince William was born two years earlier.
He was named Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales, but the Waleses announced he was to be known as Harry.
The youngster was also a regular on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour and was pictured in 1986, pursing his lips and puffing out his cheeks as he watched the celebrations with Diana and William.
Harry had a hernia operation at Great Ormond Street in 1988 when he was just three.
He was seen heading back to nursery, wearing striped bermuda shorts and a leather bomber jacket, after recovering from the surgery.
Harry had already become known for greeting photographers by sticking his tongue out.
Charles and Diana separated in 1992 and finally divorced in 1996.
Harry was only 12 when Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.
His openness in recent years about how he battled to cope and how he came close to a “complete breakdown” after not talking about his mother’s death has won plaudits from mental health charities.
Two months after Diana was killed, Harry joined his father on tour in South Africa, meeting the Spice Girls and Nelson Mandela.
When Harry completed his studies at Eton, he posed for photos in his college room.
In the cluttered dwelling, which he decorated himself, was a framed black and white portrait of his late mother, a large England flag, an Indian-style fabric wall-hanging, several mugs, some Duchy Originals mineral water, a can of Lynx deodorant, and a number of bikini-clad pin-up posters of predominantly blondes including the model Caprice.
He brawled with a paparazzi photographer, dabbled with cannabis, sparked worldwide outrage by dressing up as a Nazi and stripped off in Las Vegas during a game of billiards.
The prince also set up his own charity Sentebale to help orphaned children in the southern African kingdom of Lesotho.
He represented his grandmother the Queen overseas for the first time in 2012 on a successful tour to Belize, the Bahamas and Jamaica to mark her Diamond Jubilee, and again in 2016 on a two-week tour to the Caribbean which saw him play cricket, release baby turtles into the sea and get tested for HIV with superstar Rihanna to raise awareness on World Aids Day.
Harry met Suits star Meghan Markle on a blind date in 2016 and his romance with the American actress developed quickly.
Theatre dates followed, along with romantic African holidays and expeditions to see the Northern Lights.
Harry proposed during a cosy night in over a roast chicken and designed his future wife an engagement ring made using two diamonds from Diana’s personal collection and a central diamond sourced from Botswana.
At the start of the newlyweds’ tour of Australia in the autumn of 2018, it was announced Meghan was expecting a baby.
Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was born in May 2019, with proud father Harry describing his son as “absolutely to-die-for” and his birth as the “most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined”.
Family celebrations have included the wedding of Lady Gabriella Windsor, where he was pictured with his grandmother the Queen.
