Early life

Prince Harry was born in the Lindo Wing ofSt Mary's HospitalinPaddington,London, on 15 September 1984 at 16:20BSTas the second child ofCharles, Prince of Wales(later King Charles III), and his first wife,Diana, Princess of Wales,during the reign of his paternal grandmotherElizabeth II.He was christened Henry Charles Albert David on 21 December 1984 atSt George's Chapel, Windsor Castle,byRobert Runcie,the thenArchbishop of Canterbury.Growing up, he was referred to as "Harry" by family, friends, and the public, and was nicknamed "Harold" by his brother.Harry and his elder brother,William,were raised atKensington Palacein London, andHighgrove Housein Gloucestershire.Diana wanted her sons to have a broader range of experiences and a better understanding of ordinary life than previous royal children. She took them to venues that ranged fromWalt Disney WorldandMcDonald'sto AIDS clinics and homeless shelters.Harry began accompanying his parents on official visits at an early age; his first overseas tour was with his parents to Italy in 1985.He also travelled with his family to Canada in 1991 and 1998.

Harry's parents divorced in 1996.His mother diedin a car crash in Paris the following year while he and William were staying with their father atBalmoral Castle.Their father informed them about their mother's death.At hismother's funeral,Harry, then aged 12, accompanied his father, brother, paternal grandfatherPrince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,and maternal uncleCharles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer,in walking behind the funeral cortège from Kensington Palace toWestminster Abbey.Harry and his brother William inherited the "bulk" of the £12.9 million left by their mother on their respective 30th birthdays, a figure that had grown since her 1997 death to £10 million each in 2014.In 2014 Harry and William inherited theirmother's wedding dressalong with many of her other personal possessions, including dresses, diamond tiaras, jewels, letters, and paintings. The brothers also received the original lyrics and score of "Candle in the Wind",byBernie TaupinandElton John,as performed by John at Diana's funeral.In 2002The Timesreported that Harry would also share with his brother a disbursement of £4.9 million from trust funds established by their great-grandmother,Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother,on their respective 21st birthdays and would share a disbursement of £8 million upon their respective 40th birthdays.It was reported that Harry would inherit the bulk of the money left by the Queen Mother for the two brothers, as William is set to ascend to the throne, which will bring him additional financial benefits.

Education

Like his father and brother, Harry was educated atprivate schools.He started at London's Jane Mynors' nursery school and the pre-preparatoryWetherby School.Following this, he attendedLudgrove Schoolin Berkshire. After passing entrance exams, he was admitted toEton College.The decision to place Harry at Eton went against the past practice of theMountbatten-Windsorsto send children toGordonstoun,which his grandfather, father, two uncles, and two cousins had attended. It did, however, see Harry follow in his elder brother's footsteps and the Spencer family's, as both his mother's father and her brother attended Eton.As was the case with his brother, the royal family and the tabloid press agreed Harry would be allowed to study free from intrusion in exchange for occasional photograph opportunities in what became known as the "pressure cooker agreement".

In June 2003, Harry completed his education at Eton with twoA-Levels,achieving a grade B in art and D in geography, having decided to drop history of art after AS level.He has been described as "a top tier athlete", having played competitivepoloandrugby union.One of his former teachers, Sarah Forsyth, has asserted that he was a "weak student" and that staff at Eton conspired to help him cheat on examinations.Both Eton and Harry denied the claims.While a tribunal made no ruling on the cheating claim, it "accepted the prince had received help in preparing his A-level 'expressive' project, which he needed to pass to secure his place at Sandhurst."Harry also joined theCombined Cadet Forcewhile studying at Eton and was made cadet officer in his final year, leading the corps' annual parade at the Eton tattoo.

After school, Harry took agap year,during which he spent time in Australia working as ajackarooon a cattle station, and participating in the Young England vs Young Australia Polo Test match.He also travelled to Lesotho, where he worked with orphaned children and produced the documentary filmThe Forgotten Kingdom: Prince Harry in Lesotho.

Military career

Sandhurst; Blues and Royals; deployment to Afghanistan

Harry passed theRegular Commissions Board(RCB) in September 2004 and entered theRoyal Military Academy Sandhurston 8 May 2005, where he was known as Officer Cadet Wales, and joinedAlamein Company.His entry into the academy had to be delayed for 4 months as he recovered from an injury to his left knee.In April 2006, Harry completed his officer training and was commissioned as aCornet(second lieutenant) in theBlues and Royals,a regiment of theHousehold Cavalryin the British Army. On 13 April 2008, when he reached two years' seniority, Harry was promoted tolieutenant.

In 2006 it was announced that Harry's unit was scheduled to be deployed in Iraq the following year. A public debate ensued as to whether he should serve there. In April 2006, theMinistry of Defenceannounced that Harry would be shielded from the front line if his unit was sent to war, with a spokeswoman stating that he was expected to "undertake the fullest range of deployments", but his role needed to be monitored as "his overt presence might attract additional attention" that would put him or those he commanded at risk.Defence SecretaryJohn Reidsaid that he should be allowed to serve on the front line of battle zones. Harry agreed saying, "If they said 'no, you can't go front line' then I wouldn't drag my sorry ass through Sandhurst and I wouldn't be where I am now."Harry completed the Troop Leaders' Course in October 2006 and rejoined his regiment in Windsor, where he was put in charge of a troop of 11 soldiers and four Scimitar reconnaissance vehicles.The Ministry of Defence andClarence Housemade a joint announcement on 22 February 2007 that Harry would be deployed with his regiment to Iraq, as part of the1st Mechanised Brigadeof the3rd Mechanised Division– a move supported by Harry, who had stated that he would leave the army if he was told to remain in safety while his regiment went to war.

The head of the British army at the time, GeneralSir Richard Dannatt,said on 30 April 2007 that he had personally decided that Harry would serve with his unit in Iraq as a troop commander,and Harry was scheduled for deployment in May or June 2007 to patrol theMaysan Governorate.By 16 May, however, Dannatt announced that Harry would not serve in Iraq;concerns included Harry being a high-value target (as several threats by various groups had already been made against him) and the dangers the soldiers around him would face should any attempt be made on his life or if he were captured. Clarence House made public Harry's disappointment with the decision, though he said he would abide by it.

In the summer of 2007 Harry was trained as ajoint terminal attack controlleratRAF Leeming.In early June 2007, it was reported that Harry had arrived in Canada to train alongside soldiers of theCanadian Forcesand British Army, atCFB SuffieldnearMedicine Hat, Alberta.It was said that this was in preparation for atour of dutyin Afghanistan, where Canadian and British forces were participating in theNATO-ledAfghan War.This was confirmed in February of the following year when the British Ministry of Defence revealed that Harry had been secretly deployed as a joint terminal attack controller toHelmand Provincein Afghanistan for the previous ten weeks.The revelation came after the media – notably, German newspaperBildand Australian magazineNew Idea– breached the blackout placed over the information by the Canadian and British authorities.He was immediately pulled out due to the fear that the media coverage would put his security and the security of fellow soldiers at risk.It was later reported that Harry helpedGurkhatroops repel an attack fromTalibaninsurgents,and performed patrol duty in hostile areas while in Afghanistan.

Harry's tour made him the first member of theBritish royal familyto serve in a war zone since his unclePrince Andrew,who flew helicopters during theFalklands War.For Harry's service, his auntPrincess Annepresented him with anOperational Service Medal for Afghanistanat theCombermere Barracksin May 2008.

Army Air Corps and second deployment to Afghanistan

In October 2008, it was announced that Harry would follow his brother, father and uncle in learning to fly military helicopters.Harry attended theDefence Helicopter Flying SchoolatRAF Shawbury,where he joined his brother.He initially failed his pilot's theory test in February 2009.Prince Charles presented him with his flyingbrevet(wings) on 7 May 2010 at a ceremony at the Army Air Corps Base (AAC),Middle Wallop.Harry was awarded his Apache Flying Badge on 14 April 2011.On 16 April 2011, it was announced that Harry had been promoted tocaptain.In June 2011, Clarence House announced that Harry would be available for deployment in current operations in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot. The final decision rested with the Ministry of Defence's senior commanders, including principally theChief of the Defence Staffin consultation with the wishes of Harry, the Prince of Wales, and the Queen.In October, he was transferred to a US military base in California to complete his helicopter gunship training.This final phase included live-fire training and "environmental and judgment training" at naval and air force facilities in California and Arizona.In the same month, it was reported that Harry was top of his class in extensive training undertaken at theNaval Air Facility,El Centro, California.While training in Southern California, he spent time in San Diego.In November 2011, Harry returned to England. He went toWattisham Airfieldin Suffolk, in the east of England, to complete his training to fly Apache helicopters.

On 7 September 2012, Harry arrived atCamp Bastionin southern Afghanistan as part of the 100-strong662 Squadron, 3 Regiment, Army Air Corps,to begin a four-month combat tour as a co-pilot and gunner for an Apache helicopter.On 10 September, within days of arriving in Afghanistan, it was reported that the Taliban had threatened his life.On 18 September 2012, it was reported that Harry had been moved to a safe location after an attack by the Taliban on Camp Bastion that killed two US marines.Defence SecretaryPhilip Hammondstated that "additional security arrangements" were put in place, for Harry could be a potential target, but added that he would face "the same risk as any other Apache pilot" while in combat.In files obtained on the incident, Major GeneralGregg A. Sturdevantwas quoted as saying "The night of the attack, he slept through the entire thing. We didn't do anything special for him. He came and went, and you never would have known he was there" and "the only thing special we did for him was we had a place identified as a safe house in case the base came under attack."On 21 January 2013, it was announced that Harry was returning from a 20-week deployment in Afghanistan.On 8 July 2013, the Ministry of Defence announced that Harry had successfully qualified as an Apache aircraft commander.Harry compared operating the Apache's weapons systems in Afghanistan to playing video games.

Harry later revealed in his 2023 memoirSparethat he flew on six missions that resulted in him killing 25 Taliban members, writing that he felt he was trained to not view them as "people" but instead as "chess pieces" that had been taken off the board. He added that "It's not a number that gave me any satisfaction. But neither was it a number that made me feel ashamed."Following the publishing of Harry's claims,Pen Farthing,a British formerRoyal Marinescommando and founder of theNowzad Dogscharity, was evacuated from Kabul on 6 January 2023 to avoid "potential reprisal attacks on ex-forces people."Harry's revelations prompted backlash from both Taliban members and British politicians and military figures.

In mid-2016,Harry began a relationship with American actressMeghan Markle.According to the couple, they first connected with each other viaInstagram,though they have also said that they were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend in July 2016.On 8 November, eight days after the relationship was made public by the press, the prince directed his communications secretary to release a statement on his behalf to express personal concern about pejorative and false comments made about his girlfriend bymainstream mediaandinternet trolls.In September 2017, Prince Harry and Markle first appeared together in public at theInvictus Gamesin Toronto.Their engagement was announced on 27 November 2017 by Harry's father.The announcement prompted generally positive comments about having a mixed-race person as a member of the royal family,especially in regard to Commonwealth countries with populations of blended or native ancestry.Themarriage ceremonywas held atSt George's Chapel, Windsor Castleon 19 May 2018.The couple later revealed in the 2021 television interviewOprah with Meghan and Harrythat, three days prior to the ceremony, they had privately exchanged vows in their garden, in the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury.However, this earlier exchange of vows was not an official religious orlegally recognised marriage.

The Duke and Duchess initially lived atNottingham Cottagein London, in the grounds of Kensington Palace.In May 2018, it was reported that they had signed a two-year lease on WestfieldLarge, located on the Great Tew Estate in theCotswolds.They gave up the lease after photos of the house and its interior were published by a paparazzi agency.The couple considered settling at the 21-room Apartment 1 within Kensington Palace,but moved toFrogmore Cottagein theHome ParkofWindsor Castlewhich Queen Elizabeth II had recently gifted to them instead.TheCrown Estaterefurbished the cottage at a cost of £2.4 million, paid out of theSovereign Grant,with the Duke later reimbursing expenses beyond restoration and ordinary maintenance, a part of which was offset against rental payments that were due at the time.On 6 May 2019, the Duke and Duchess's son,Archie,was born.Their office was moved to Buckingham Palace and officially closed on 31 March 2020 when the Sussexes ceased "undertaking official engagements in support of the Queen".After some months in Canada and the United States, the couple bought a house in June 2020 on the former estate ofRiven RockinMontecito, California.The next month, the Duchess suffered amiscarriage.On 4 June 2021, their daughter,Lilibet,was born.The Duke and Duchess own aLabradornamed Pula, and twoBeaglesnamed Guy and Mamma Mia.

In May 1988, Harry underwent a surgery for a minorhernia.In November 2000, he broke his thumb while playing football at Eton and underwent a minor operation.In his memoir,Spare,Harry admits that he tookcocaineat the age of 17.In 2002, it was reported that, with Charles's encouragement, Harry had paid a visit to a drug rehabilitation unit to talk to drug addicts after it had emerged that he had been smokingcannabisand drinking at his father's Highgrove House and at a local pub in the summer of 2001.He adds in his memoir that he smoked cannabis at Eton and in Kensington Palace gardens,but he later told a court that "he never smoked in [his] father's house".In the memoir, he also detailed takingmagic mushroomsat a party atCourteney Cox's house in January 2016.

In 2017 and during an appearance onBryony Gordon's podcastMad World,Harry acknowledged that with the support of his brother he had soughtcounsellingyears after his mother's death.He added that he had struggled with aggression, had suffered fromanxietyduring royal engagements, and had been "very close to a complete breakdown on numerous occasions".He later added that he had taken upboxingas a way of coping with mental stress and "letting out aggression".In other interviews he stated that besides therapy he took alcohol to cope and used experimental drugsrecreationally,including "psychedelics,Ayahuasca,psilocybin,mushrooms. "He also stated that what he experienced after his mother's death "was very much"post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).

In his mental-health television documentary,The Me You Can't See,which premiered in 2021, he added that he had undergone four years of therapy to address his mental health issues, having been encouraged to do so by his future wife after they had started dating.He also mentioned that he had suffered from "panic attacks[and] severe anxiety "in his late 20s and that the heavy load of official visits and functions had eventually" led toburnout".In an episode ofArmchair Expert,Harry attributed his mental health issues to the ineffective parenting style of previous generations and to the "genetic pain and suffering" passed down in his family, adding that he believed his issues stemmed from "the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered".In his 2023 memoir, Harry described himself as anagoraphobe.In March 2023,the Heritage Foundation(HF) sent a dossier on Harry's drug use to different government entities, asking whether he had admitted to past drug use on his U.S. visa application.The following month, they filed a lawsuit against theU.S. Department of Homeland Security(DHS) demanding his immigration records.

In March 2024, the U.S. government was ordered to hand over Harry's visa application details to aD.C.court. Judge Carl Nichols would then decide whether the application can proceed further. The move followed an earlier failed freedom of information request that was asked for by HF from DHS last year.In September 2024, the case brought forward by HF was closed due to the filing of two sealed orders and a sealed "memorandum opinion".

Political views

In September 2020, Harry and his wife released a video addressing American voters to "reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity" in the2020 United States presidential election,which was seen by some as an implicit endorsement ofJoe Biden.Harry was the subject of a prank by the Russian comedy duoVovan and Lexus,who posed as climate activistGreta Thunbergand her father during two phone calls on New Year's Eve and 22 January 2020.During the conversations, Harry described his decision to leave the monarchy as "not easy" and criticisedDonald Trump's stance on climate change and his support of the coal industry.

In May 2021, Harry was a guest onDax ShepardandMonica Padman's podcastArmchair Expertduring which he talked about the freedom of speech and laws related to it in the United States, stating "I've got so much I want to say about theFirst Amendmentas I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers. "He added that it was "a huge subject and one which [he didn't] understand", emphasising that one could "capitalise or exploit what's not said rather than uphold what is said."The comments were met by backlash from conservative Americans and Britons, prompting figures such asTed Cruz,Dan Crenshaw,Nigel Farage,Candace Owens,Jack Posobiec,andLaura Ingrahamto criticise him publicly.

In November 2021, in a panel atWired's Re:Wired Conference, Harry claimed that a day before theJanuary 6 United States Capitol attackhe emailedJack Dorsey,CEO of Twitter, and 'warned' of potential civil unrest, but had not received a response.In the same month,Conservativepolitician and MPJohnny Mercer,who was leading the efforts to waive visa fees for foreign-born UK veterans and their families, announced in theCommonsthat the Duke of Sussex was supportive of their proposal and viewed it as "morally right" and not as "a political intervention".

In June 2022, in an interview withJessica YellinforVogue,Meghan described Harry's reaction to theSupreme Court of the United States'sdecisionthat abortion is not a protected constitutional right as "guttural".Harry later condemned the decision as "rolling back of constitutional rights" in his address to the United Nations onMandela Dayin July 2022.Associate justice of the Supreme CourtSamuel Alito,who wrote the majority decision for the case, criticised foreign figures including Harry for their comments on "American law" during a speech.

In June 2023, Harry broke royal protocol by criticising theUK governmentin his witness statement to a court.He argued that both theBritish pressand the government were "at rock bottom" and instead of scrutinising the government the press got "into bed with them so they can ensure the status quo".

In January 2020, the Duke and Duchess announced that they were stepping back from their role as senior members of the royal family, and would balance their time between the United Kingdom and North America.A statement released by the Palace confirmed that the Duke and Duchess were to become financially independent and cease to represent the Queen.At the time of the announcement of Harry and Meghan's decision to "step back" as senior members of the royal family in 2020, 95% of the couple's income derived from the £2.3 million given to them annually by Harry's father, Charles, as part of his income from theDuchy of Cornwall.The couple retain their HRH stylings but are not permitted to use them.The formal role of the Duke and Duchess was subject to a twelve-month review period, ending in March 2021. In March 2020, Harry attended the opening of the Silverstone Experience inSilverstone Circuittogether with racing driverLewis Hamilton.Harry's appearance at the museum was his final solo engagement as a senior royal.He and Meghan attended theCommonwealth Dayservice at Westminster Abbey on 9 March 2020, which was their last engagement as a couple before they officially stepped down on 31 March.

Publicly funded police security

Harry faced difficulties with obtaining and maintaining publicly funded security, both in Canada and the United Kingdom, after he and Meghan announced their self-demotion within the royal family. While the couple resided onVancouver Island,theCanadian Taxpayers Federationlaunched a petition calling for theRoyal Canadian Mounted Policeto ceaseproviding securityto the Sussexes.The Government of Canada announced RCMP security would not be provided after March 2020 when the couple's status changed.A similar petition circulated in the UK in mid-March 2020.The backlash in the two countries led PresidentDonald Trumpto preemptively assert that the United States would not pay either; though, the couple never intended to ask for it while in the US.

In January 2022, it was reported that Harry had been in a legal fight since September 2021 over the Home Office's refusal to allow him to pay for police protection.He had made the offer to pay during theSandringham Summitand "self-evidently believed" that it would be passed on to the government.Following the first court hearing of the case by theHigh Court,it was revealed that Harry had 'exceptional status' and the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) still determined his personal protective security on a case-by-case basis.After receiving applications by the Duke and the Home Office to keep parts of the case private, the High Court ruled in March 2022 that some parts of it would remain confidential.Mr Justice Swift also reacted to the Duke's legal team sending a copy of the ruling to someone who was not a lawyer, describing it as "entirely unacceptable".In July 2022, Mr Justice Swift granted permission for part of Harry's claim to proceed for a judicial review.

Harry filed a lawsuit against the Home Office and theMetropolitan Policein August 2022, challenging the decision by RAVEC from January 2022 which stated that State security could not be made available to private individuals even if they wished to pay for it themselves.In February 2023, a High Court judge ruled that the second case should be thrown out,however, the decision was later appealed by Harry's legal team.He lost the legal challenge in May 2023, meaning that he will not be allowed to make private payments for police protection.In June 2023, aFreedom of Informationrequest revealed that Harry's legal fight with the Home Office had cost £502,236, with £492,000 covered by the state and the remaining £10,000 covered by Harry.In February 2024, the High Court ruled against Harry in his case against the Home Office and upheld the decision by RAVEC, stating that there had been no unlawfulness in the decision-making process for his security arrangements.Harry's lawyers announced that they would appeal the decision.In April 2024, he lost an initial attempt to appeal against the ruling.Despite his lawyers' attempts to have him pay no more than 50% of the Home Office's legal costs of defending his challenge, the judge held him liable for 90% of the costs.It was also revealed that during the proceedings Harry had leaked information via email to "a partner of Schillings" and toJohnny Mercer,for which he apologised to the court.In May 2024, he was given permission by theCourt of Appealto challenge the High Court's decision.

Sussex Royal and Archewell

In June 2019, it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would split fromThe Royal Foundationand establish their own charity foundation by the end of 2019.

In March 2021, it was reported that theCharity Commission for England and Waleswas conducting a review of theSussex Royalorganisation in a "regulatory and compliance case" regarding its conduct under charity law during dissolution.Representatives for the couple claimed that Sussex Royal was "managed by a board of trustees" and that "suggestion of mismanagement" directed exclusively at the Duke and Duchess would be incorrect.The commission later concluded that the foundation did not act unlawfully, but criticised the board of directors for expending a "substantial proportion of funds" to setting up and closing the charity.

In April 2020, Meghan and Harry confirmed their new foundation (in lieu of Sussex Royal) would be called "Archewell".The name stems from the Greek word "arche",which means" source of action "; the same word that inspired the name of their son.Archewell was registered in the United States.Its website was officially launched in October 2020.

Public image

In his youth, Harry earned a reputation for being rebellious, leading thetabloidpress to label him a "wild child".At the age of 17, he was seen smoking cannabis, drinking underage with friends, and clashing physically withpaparazzioutside nightclubs.In early 2005, he was photographed at a "Colonial and Native" -themed birthday party inWiltshirewearing aNazi GermanAfrika Korpsuniform with aswastikaarmband.His choice sparked a backlash from the media, politicians, and religious figures.Clarence House later issued a public statement in which Harry apologised for his behaviour.In an interview for his 21st birthday he stated that it "was a very stupid thing to do and I've learnt my lesson".

In January 2005, in response to an inquiry about his Zimbabwean girlfriend Chelsy Davy, Harry responded "She's not black or anything, you know".In January 2009, the Britishtabloid,theNews of the World,revealed a video made by Harry three years earlier in which he referred to a Pakistani fellow officer cadet as "our littlePakifriend "and called a soldier wearing a camouflage hood a"raghead".These terms were described by the Leader of the Opposition at the timeDavid Cameronas "unacceptable",and byThe Daily Telegraphas "racist".A British Muslim youth organisation called Harry a "thug".Further extracts showed him telling a comrade "I love you" before giving him a kiss on the cheek and licking his face, and asking another whether he felt gay, queer, or on the side.Clarence Houseimmediately issued an apology from Harry, who stated that no malice was intended in his remarks.Subsequently, it was reported that the military had instructed Harry to attend a diversity course.In the same year, British stand-up comedianStephen K. Amosalleged that after a stand-up show for Charles's 60th birthday celebrations in November 2008 Harry had commented on his performance by saying, "You don't sound like a black chap", though he hoped that the remarks were made in jest.

In October 2007, a video from Harry's trip to Namibia with his friends surfaced, which showed him snorting vodka and licking a male friend's nipples.While on holiday in Las Vegas in August 2012, Harry and an unknown young woman were photographed naked in aWynn Las Vegashotel room, reportedly during a game of stripbilliards.The pictures were leaked by American celebrity websiteTMZon 21 August 2012,and reported worldwide by mainstream media on 22 August 2012.The photographs were shown by the American media, but British media were reluctant to publish them.Royal aides suggestedClarence Housewould contact thePress Complaints Commission(PCC) if British publications used the pictures.St James's Palaceconfirmed that Harry was in the photographs, saying that he was essentially a victim whose privacy had been invaded and contacted the PCC upon hearing that a number of British newspapers were considering publishing the photographs.On 24 August 2012,The Sunnewspaper published the photographs.

In December 2021, reports emerged about Harry's meetings with Saudi businessmanMahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz,whose receipt of aCBEbecame the subject of an investigation by theScottish Charity Regulator.Mahfouz had met Harry in 2013 and 2014 and donated £50,000 to his charity Sentebale and £10,000 to Walking With The Wounded, of which Harry is patron.The Sunday Timesclaimed that the meetings with Harry opened the way for Mahfouz to get access to the Prince of Wales.Harry referred to the incident as the "CBE scandal" in December 2021 and stated that he severed ties with Mahfouz in 2015 after expressing "growing concerns" about his motives, though aides from his father's household denied having any discussions with him regarding Mahfouz.A spokesperson for Sentebale defended the meetings and added that there was not any impropriety regarding the donations.

In March 2024, Harry was named in a lawsuit againstP. Diddywho was facing allegations of sexual trafficking. He was mentioned as a well-known celebrity associate of Combs, whom he would use among other famous figures to draw guests to his parties.

Public opinion

In view of theirenvironmental activism,Harry and Meghan were criticised in August 2019 for reportedly taking fourprivate jetjourneys in 11 days, including one toElton John's home inNice,France.The criticism was in line with the reactions the royal family faced in June 2019, after it was revealed that they "had doubled [their] carbon footprint from business travel".Harry received backlash again in August 2021 and 2022 for taking a two-hour flight on private jets between California andAspen, Colorado,to participate in an annual charity polo tournament.In June 2022 and on their way to California after theQueen's Platinum Jubilee,Harry and Meghan boarded a private jet that was estimated to have emitted "ten times more carbon than flying commercial".

After his marriage, Harry's popularity skyrocketed above all the other royals as he was deemed likable by 77 per cent of respondents in a poll of 3,600 Britons conducted by statistics and polling companyYouGov.However, his popularity fell afterstepping back from royal duties,and it plummeted after the release of his controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey, his Netflix docuseries, and his memoir.In December 2022, Harry was found to be the third most disliked member of the British royal family by YouGov, preceded by his unclePrince Andrewand his wife Meghan.Writing forThe New York Times,Sarah Lyallnoted that following the release of his memoir Harry and his wife lost support within segments of the American public and press.It has been suggested by critics that this fall from public esteem is due to Harry and Meghan's frequent attempts to achieve ongoing relevancy,and their perceived hypocrisy and selfishness.Harry and Meghan's exit from the royal family was satirized ina 2023 episodeofSouth Park.

In 2018 and 2021, Harry was selected as one of the100 Most Influential People in the WorldbyTimemagazine.In 2019, the magazine named Harry and his wife as among the 25 Most Influential People on the Internet.In 2021, the couple was featured on one of the magazine's seven worldwideTime 100covers.In 2023,Peoplenamed him as one of the "25 Most Intriguing People of the Year".In the same year,James HibberdofThe Hollywood Reporternamed Harry and Meghan and among the Hollywood losers of 2023.

Privacy and the media

Legal issues and incidents

Associated Newspapers

In January 2020, theIndependent Press Standards Organisation(IPSO) sided with theMail on Sundayover a dispute between the Duke and the newspaper regarding an Instagram photo involving Harry in which, according to the newspaper, elephants were in fact "tranquilised" and "tethered" during a relocating process. The IPSO rejected Harry's claim that the paper's description was "inaccurate" or "misleading".

In December 2020, Harry's legal team suedAssociated Newspapers Limited(ANL) for publishing a story in theMail on Sundayclaiming his working relationship with the Royal Marines had suffered post-royal departure.The newspaper subsequently accepted the claims were false and issued an apology. The prince's lawyer said the "substantial damages" paid by the publisher would be donated to the Invictus Games Foundation.

In November 2021, Harry and Meghan's former communications secretary Jason Knauf gave a statement to the court following ANL's appeal against a judge's ruling that accused the media company of breaching Meghan's privacy for publishing a letter she had sent to her father.Knauf mentioned the Duchess of Sussex directly gave him briefing points to share withFinding Freedom's authorsOmid Scobieand Carolyn Durand and added that the Duke of Sussex had welcomed the suggestion that they should conceal their involvement with the process of writing the book, while they both discussed the book "on a routine basis".ANL had previously applied to use the book in their defense, arguing that the Duke and Duchess had "co-operated with the authors of the recently published bookFinding Freedomto put out their version of certain events ".

In February 2022, Harry filed a libel suit in theHigh Courtagainst ANL for aMail on Sundayarticle which alleged he was trying to keep his legal battle against theHome Officeto restore his police protection secret from the public through requesting a confidentiality order on the case and that he offered to pay for police protection only after filing a lawsuit against the government.In June 2022,Mr Justice Nicklinruled that parts of the article were potentially defamatory, though Nicklin rejected claims by Harry's lawyers that the article portrayed him as a liar.Harry attempted to have the publisher's defence thrown out, but the judge rejected his motion in December 2023 and decided that the case should proceed to trial.He later ordered Harry to payMail on Sunday£48,447 in legal costs.Harry withdrew the libel claim in January 2024 and became liable for the publisher's £250,000 legal costs.

In October 2022, the Duke of Sussex joinedDoreen Lawrence,Sir Elton John,David Furnish,Sadie Frost,andElizabeth Hurleyin launching a legal action against ANL for their alleged "abhorrent criminal activity", which was said to involve listening to and recording people's phone calls and daily activities, obtaining sensitive information and medical records, and accessing bank accounts and financial transactions.In a statement, ANL described the allegations as "preposterous smears", and Gavin Burrows, the private investigator whose alleged 2021 statement was used as a key element in the case, said that the statement was not signed by him and was "a cut and paste from my evidence" of other publishers targeting individuals.In November 2023, Mr Justice Nicklin ruled that the case brought by Harry and the other claimants could proceed but unpublished material provided to theLeveson Inquirywas inadmissible as proof in this case.

News Group and Mirror Group newspapers

In October 2019, it was announced that Harry had sued theDaily Mirror,The Sunand the now-defunctNews of the World"in relation to alleged phone-hacking".FormerNews of the Worldroyal editorClive Goodmanhad previously stated that he hadhackedHarry's phone on nine occasions.He sought damages in excess of £200,000 from the publisher of theNews of the WorldandThe Sunand alleged an earlier agreement betweenNews Group Newspapersand the royal family which would see he and William not take legal action in return for an apology had not been honoured.A palace source denied the existence of any secret agreements.Both brothers brought a claim privately through their mutual attorneys, but Harry decided to pursue his case separately with a new solicitor in 2019.In April 2023, a High Court judge said there were inconsistencies in Harry's claim, including the time when he became aware of the issue's full scale and his failure to mention an alleged agreement between the publisher and the palace.In July 2023, the judge ruled that part of Harry's case involving allegations of illegal information gathering would go to trial but his phone-hacking claims were dismissed for being made too late.In May 2024,Mr Justice Fancourtrefused Harry the permission to include claims againstRupert Murdoch,expand his case's scope back to 1994 and 1995 to cover allegations involving his mother or to add new allegations from 2016 involving his then-girlfriend Meghan.In the following month, Mr Justice Fancourt ordered Harry to provide a written statement explaining why messages sent to his memoir ghostwriter that could potentially be related to his hacking claims had been deleted.Additionally, he decided that a search of Harry's laptop, text messages, and WhatsApp conversations was necessary in order to examine conversations that took place between 2005 and the beginning of 2023.

Lawyers for theMirrordenied accessing Harry's voicemail messages and other allegations, but admitted to instructing "private investigators to unlawfully obtain private information" about Harry on a single occasion that involved him visitingChinawhite.In January 2023, a High Court judge ruled that Harry's lawsuit againstMirror Group Newspapers(MGN) as well as other similar lawsuits against the publisher would go to trial in May 2023.At the beginning of trial, MGN apologised for one instance of unlawful information gathering against Harry and added that his legal challenge "warrants compensation".In June 2023, Harry testified in the court case accusing formerDaily MirroreditorPiers Morganof horrific personal attacks and claimed that his phone had been hacked dating back to when he was still at Eton.His appearance marked the first time a member of the royal family had beencross-examinedin court sinceAlbert Edward, Prince of Wales,appeared as a witness in courtin 1891.In December 2023, the High Court ruled in favour of Harry for 15 of the 33 sample stories used in his claims of phone hacking against MGN and awarded him £140,600 of the £440,000 he sought in damages.Mr Justice Fancourt concludedPiers Morganand other editors knew about the phone hacking at their publications and were involved in it.Harry through his lawyerDavid Sherbornecalled the ruling "vindicating and affirming" and urged the authorities to further investigate and prosecute the company.An additional 115 articles from Harry's claim might have been the focus of two further trials, but in February 2024 he settled his claim with MGN. The publisher agreed to cover Harry's legal costs and pay damages reported to be in the region of £300,000.

Other cases

In October 2013,Jo Brandappeared onHave I Got News for Youand while talking aboutPrince George's christening she said: "George's godparents includeHugh van Cutsem... I presume that's a nickname as in Hugh van cuts 'em and Harry then snorts 'em. "Representatives of Kensington Palace contacted the BBC after the programme aired, pointing out the error and the implications of the joke.The BBC wrote to Kensington Palace apologising for the "factual inaccuracy" as George's godfather was William van Cutsem, but it did not apologise for the comment itself as it was part of the show's "irreverent humor".

In February 2014, a judge sentenced the convicted criminal Ashraf Islam to three years in prison, as he had plotted to murder Harry and had given it "considerable thought" due to his belief that Harry had "a moral guilt" since he was in the army.In June 2019, two members of the neo-Nazi groupSonnenkrieg Divisionwere jailed for eighteen months and four years, respectively, for sharing propaganda posters among which was one that labelled Harry as a "race traitor" with a gun pointed at his head.

In May 2019,Splash Newsissued a formal apology to the Sussexes for sending photographers to theirCotswoldsresidence, which put their privacy at risk. The agency also agreed to pay damages and legal costs associated with the case.In December 2019,PA Mediaretracted the publishing of aChristmas cardphotograph of Harry, Meghan, and their son Archie. The agency said that the photo was retracted because they had been advised that the photograph was "not representative of the Christmas card sent by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex".In January 2020, lawyers issued a legal warning to the press after paparazzi photographs were published in the media.In March 2020, the couple took Splash UK to court after the Duchess and their son were photographed without permission during a "private family outing" while staying in Canada. The case was settled later that year with Splash UK agreeing to no longer take unauthorised photos of the family.In April 2020, the Duke and Duchess announced that they would no longer cooperate with theDaily Mail,theSun,theMirrorand theExpress.They won an apology in October that year from American news agency X17 for taking photographs of their son at their home using drones.

In June 2020, it was reported that Harry's lawyers had issued a 'letter before action', threatening to sue theSunandDan Wootton,based on the allegations that they had paid money to associates of palace officials to secure their stories.It was alleged that theSunhad made two payments amounting to £4,000 to the partner of a royal official in relation to stories published in June and July 2019 which detailed the nannying and god-parenting arrangements for Harry and Meghan's son Archie.News Group Newspapers, publisher of theSun,emphasised that they had done nothing "unlawful" in sourcing the stories and no illegal payments were made.Wootton's lawyers denied that any payments were made unlawfully to a public official or a proxy and described the claims as "a smear campaign by unknown bad actors."Wootton has been credited with breaking the story aboutMegxitand Harry and Meghan's initial plans for moving to Canada in theSunon 8 January 2020, which prompted the couple to issue an announcement within hours, confirming their plans for stepping back from their royal duties.Sources close to the couple later spoke toThe New York Times,stating that they "felt forced to disclose their plans prematurely" as they learned about theSun's intentions to publish the story.Wootton disputed the claim as "They released the statement after we had published the story and had so much notice."

A September 2020 article byThe Timesclaiming an Invictus Games fundraiser had been cancelled due to its affiliation with a competitor of Netflix, Harry's business partner, became the subject of a legal complaint issued by the Duke.In January 2022, the couple mutually filed a legal complaint againstThe Timesfor an article reporting on Archewell raising less than $50,000 in 2020.

Despite the palace congratulating the Duke and Duchess on the birth of their daughter Lilibet in June 2021, a few days later the BBC reported that Harry and Meghan had not sought the permission of the Queen before naming their daughter with her personal family nickname.Lawyers for the couple subsequently accused the BBC of defamation and sent letters out to various media organisations saying the report was false and defamatory, and the allegations should not be repeated as Harry had spoken to the Queen before announcing their daughter's name.

In January 2024, two neo-Nazis, Christopher Gibbons and Tyrone Patten-Walsh, were given prison sentences between 8 and 11 years for terrorism, which included calling for the deaths of Harry and his son Archie on their podcast.
