Britain's Prince Harry celebrates his 35th birthday on Sunday. Fourth in line to the throne, Harry has lived his whole life in the public eye. Harry appears more at ease in front of the cameras. But royal watchers believe Harry suffered more than his brother after his mother Diana's death in a car crash in 1997. That may have prompted him to dabble with soft drugs and underage drinking as a 17-year-old.

Harry began a military career as an army officer in April 2006. He served a 10-week tour in Afghanistan up to the end of February 2008. In October 2008, Harry chose to follow Prince Andrew and Prince William and train to become a helicopter pilot. In 2012 Harry returned to Afghanistan for a four-month operational tour as an Apache helicopter pilot. On May 19, 2018, Harry married American actress Meghan Markle in St. George's chapel. In May this year Meghan gave birth to their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
