Harry rebelled as a teenager, fought in the Middle East, married an American woman and now chooses to withdraw from the royal family to go his own way.

From birth, Prince Harry has received media attention. Every step of his life was concerned by the world, from the painful days of losing his mother, his rebellious teenage years, his career in the army. Harry then followed his mother, philanthropy around the world, married, and father.

And now he and his wife, Princess Meghan, will start a new chapter: retreat from the position of senior member of the royal family and travel between England and North America.

Harry tried to balance between life and personal life. At times, the sixth position in the succession list helps the British Prince to receive great support in charitable activities. However, there were also times when excessive attention from the public caused him to fight fiercely to protect his family's privacy.

Born in St Mary's Hospital, London on September 15, 1984, the prince was named by Henry Archbishop Canterbury Henry Charles Albert David in December of that year at St George's Chapel, Windsor town. However, from the moment he was born, the prince was known as Harry.

Harry's childhood experienced a huge shock in 1997, when his mother, Princess Diana, died in an accident in Paris at the age of 36. Princess Diana's death caused British royal lovers all over the world royal, but with Prince William, 15, and Harry, 12, this shock also changed their lives forever.

"I can say that losing my mother at 12 and losing all my emotions in the last 20 years has seriously affected not only my personal life but also my job," Harry said in an interview. with the Daily Telegraph 2017. "Many times I almost completely collapse when all the pain, lies, misunderstandings and everything comes together."

Harry's education is like his brother William. After graduating from Class A in 2003, he took a year off, worked for a sheep farm in Australia and the AIDS-infected youth camps in Lesotho, a country in South Africa and was a member of the British Commonwealth. This work paved the way for Harry to establish a charity later.

Harry has 10 years of service in the armed forces, becoming the first royal member in more than 25 active war zones. He expressed frustration in 2007 when he was not allowed by military leaders to serve in Iraq because of concerns about many dangers. However, then Harry spent 10 weeks in Afghanistan.

From September 2012 to January 2013, Harry returned to the country as an Apache helicopter pilot and talked about how he killed Taliban fighters. When he announced his retirement from the army in 2015, Harry said he would remember his time spent in the army for the rest of his life.

This is reflected in Harry's charitable work focusing on mental health and support services for veterans. The most prominent charitable activity of Harry is to establish and host Invictus Games in 2014, a sports tournament for wounded soldiers. He also supports the charity "Walking With the Wounded" for disabled veterans.

In addition, the Prince also supports conservation projects in Africa, co-founded the Sentebale charity for orphans in Lesotho. He continued his mother's work helping children with HIV AIDS and helping the non-profit Halo Trust in clearing mines.

Princess Diana gained international attention as she walked through a minefield in Angola in 1997. Harry celebrated her accomplishments by repeating her journey on the minefield in September 2019.

During many years when he was one of the most famous single men in the world, Harry's personal life and affection also attracted much attention.

Trouble with the press has clung to Harry's whole life. In 2002, the front page of the News of the World, now suspended, ran a shocking headline: "Harry's Drug Shame" and said Prince Charles sent his son to a rehab facility to punish him for smoking marijuana. St James' Palace confirmed that Harry, then 17, "had tried drugs several times" but did not use it "regularly".

In October 2004, Harry scrambled with a photographer outside a nightclub when surrounded by reporters. The following year, the image of a prince dressed as a fascist at a feasting party. The British royal family later said that Harry apologized and admitted "this is a bad costume choice".

In 2009, Harry was caught using vulgar language to describe an Asian member in his platoon. The prince also apologized and explained that it was just a nickname.

In 2012, Harry's image in the press became more positive thanks to his role as ambassador of the London Olympic Games and participating in the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's reign. However, in August of that year, photographs of him and a naked girl in a hotel room in Las Vegas, USA, emerged.

"I'm in a private place and there should be a certain privacy that everyone should have," Harry said of the incident.

Perhaps Harry's only luck is that he is at the bottom of the list of successors, so he does not have to shoulder many of the responsibilities like his brother William and have a freer life.

At the end of 2016, the Prince affirmed his relationship with American actor Meghan Markle, and released a statement criticizing the press to annoy her. The two met each other through a meeting arranged by a mutual friend and after just two dates, the two went on vacation in Botswana together.

In September 2017, Meghan told Vanity Fair that she and Harry were "really happy and in love". Harry designed Meghan's engagement ring with two diamonds in her mother's jewelry collection.

The couple married in May 2018, becoming Duke and Lady Sussex. Last May, they welcomed their first-born son Archie, which Harry described as "our little joy".

Last year was a turbulent year for Harry and his wife. In April, their Instagram account attracted more than one million followers in a record time of 5 hours and 45 minutes after launch.

In June, the two announced their separation from a charitable foundation with the couple. During a 10-day trip to Africa in September, Meghan caused a stir by sharing about the pressures of royal life. She sued Mail on Sunday over accusations of posting personal letters without permission.

Meanwhile, Harry admitted to a conflict with his brother, but insisted the two were always good brothers.

"We certainly have our own ways right now, but I'm still because he is like I know he is always for me. We don't see each other as much as we used to be because we're so busy but I'm still very However, being a brother, of course, you have to go through happy days and bad days, "said Prince Harry.

On 8/1, Harry - Meghan unexpectedly announced that he would "withdraw from his position as a senior member of the royal family and work to become financially independent". The two will set up a new international charity and travel between Britain and North America.

Internal sources revealed that Harry - Meghan did not consult anyone about the withdrawal, which made the British royal family "heartbroken" by their statement. Representatives of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince William are discussing with the British government and Harry - Meghan's office to find a satisfactory solution in the next few days.

While Harry remained in England handling the noise, Meghan returned to Canada to reunite with her son Archie. The decision of the couple Prince Harry was assessed by experts as unprecedented and disturbing. Many supporters decided to "choose their own way" of the couple, but many criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for not fulfilling the obligations of royal members.
