The Most Influential Person On AIG This Week Is Prince Harry, Duke Of Sussex

Henry Charles Albert David, also known as Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, was born on September 15, 1984. He is a member of the British royal family. He is Charles III’s younger child with Diana, Princess of Wales, who was his first wife. He comes in at position five in the British throne’s line of succession.

Harry and his brother, Williams were raised in Highgrove House in Gloucestershire and Kensington Palace in London. In comparison to earlier royal children,

The Duke of Sussex attended Wetherby School, Ludgrove School, and Eton College for his education. He traveled to Australia and Lesotho for portions of his break year before attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for officer training. He received a commission as a cornet into the Blues and Royals, temporarily serving with his brother William, and finished his training to become a troop leader. He served in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province for more than ten weeks in 2007–2008. In 2012–2013, he went back to Afghanistan with the Army Air Corps for a 20–week mission. He left the service in June 2015.

Princess Diana desired that Harry and his older brother, Prince William experience life outside of the realm of royal privileges. So, she took them on public transit, to fast food restaurants, and stood in line with them at Disney World. She also brought Harry and William along when she went to homeless shelters, orphanages, and hospitals because she wanted to make sure they “knew people’s feelings, their insecurities, people’s anguish, and their hopes and dreams.” Harry was deeply affected by Diana’s passing at the age of 36. Princess Diana of Wales passed away in the early morning hours of August 31, 1997, from wounds she had received earlier that day in a car accident in Paris’ Pont de l’Alma tunnel.

In a rare and incredibly honest interview, Prince Harry once more broke with British royal convention by detailing years of difficulty managing his life and mental health, challenges he explicitly links to his mother’s untimely death, and admitting that he needed therapy to cope.

He has been married to Meghan Markle since May 19, 2018. They have two children.

Harry and Meghan declared in January 2020 that they would “pull back” from their royal responsibilities and “become financially independent.” They also intended to spend equal amounts of time in the UK and North America.
