[M]Henry Charles Alberto David[/M] (Henry Charles Albert David; 15 September 1984, London), better known as Prince Harry, [M]is the youngest son of[/M] Charles, Prince of Wales, and his first wife, [M]Diana, Princess of Wales[/M] .
|
Henry, Duke of Sussex, better known as Harry (Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor; London, 15 September 1984), is a prince and member of the British royal family, sixth in line to the throne of the United Kingdom and the realms of the Commonwealth. He held the rank of major in the British Army's Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals) regiment.
He is the second son of Charles, Prince of Wales (heir to the British throne) and the late Princess of Wales Diana (1961-1997), as well as the fourth grandson of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Harry, during his youth, was known as the "rebellious" member of the British royal family due to his unorthodox and scandalous attitudes and numerous flirtatious flirtations, although this image was largely counterbalanced by his tenacious will to serve the his own country, opportunities granted him in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2008, until the leak of news of his presence in the theater of war forced him to return home for reasons of his and his fellow soldiers' safety.
In January 2020, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announce their willingness to retire from public office of the royal family (therefore to give up the Sovereign Grant, a sort of royal salary) and to want to become financially independent.

Henry, Duke of Sussex, better known as Harry (Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor; London, 15 September 1984), is a prince and member of the British royal family, sixth in line to the throne of the United Kingdom and the realms of the Commonwealth. He held the rank of major in the British Army's Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals) regiment.
He is the second son of Charles, Prince of Wales (heir to the British throne) and the late Princess of Wales Diana (1961-1997), as well as the fourth grandson of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Harry, during his youth, was known as the "rebellious" member of the British royal family due to his unorthodox and scandalous attitudes and numerous flirtatious flirtations, although this image was largely counterbalanced by his tenacious will to serve the his own country, opportunities granted him in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2008, until the leak of news of his presence in the theater of war forced him to return home for reasons of his and his fellow soldiers' safety.
In January 2020, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announce their willingness to retire from public office of the royal family (therefore to give up the Sovereign Grant, a sort of royal salary) and to want to become financially independent.

Mary of Teck (Victoria Mary Augusta Louisa Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes; London, May 26, 1867 - March 24, 1953) was the queen consort of the United Kingdom and British Dominions and empress of India, as the wife of King-Emperor George V of the United Kingdom.
Princess Von Teck of the kingdom of Württemberg was born and raised in the United Kingdom. His parents were Francis, Duke of Teck, who was of German descent, and Princess Maria Adelaide of Cambridge, a member of the British royal family. To her family, she was informally known as "May". At the age of 24 she was promised to Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, eldest son of the Prince of Wales, but six weeks after the engagement was announced he unexpectedly died of pneumonia. The following year she was engaged to Alberto Vittorio's brother, Giorgio, who later became King George V.
Before the ascension of her husband she was in succession Duchess of York, Duchess of Cornwall and later Princess of Wales. As Queen consort since 1910, she supported her husband during World War I, his poor health and major political changes resulting from the aftermath of the war and the rise of socialism and nationalism. After George's death in 1936, his eldest son ascended the throne as Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, but to his dismay he abdicated the same year to marry American Wallis Simpson. She supported her second son, Albert, who ascended the throne as George VI, until his death in 1952. Maria died the following year, early in the reign of her granddaughter Elizabeth II.
