Question

Answer 1

Harry,third in line to the throne.

From http://www.royal.gov/uk

"Prince Harry is the younger son of The Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales.

He was born at 4.20pm on 15 September 1984 at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, in central London. He weighed 6lb 14oz.

On 21st December 1984, Prince Henry Charles Albert David was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Runcie, in St George's Chapel, Windsor.

After attending Mrs Mynors School, Prince Harry became a pupil at Wetherby School in London, from September 1987.  In September 1992, Harry joined his older brother William at Ludgrove School in Berkshire where he stayed for five years.

Prince Harry was 12-years-old when Diana, Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997.  Prince William and Prince Harry walked behind their mother's cortege at her funeral which was held at Westminster Abbey on 6th September 1997.

He then attended Eton College from September 1998 where he took both his GCSE and A Levels exams.

After completing his A Levels, Prince Harry took a gap year during which he visited Australia, Argentina and Africa, where he made a documentary about the plight of orphans in Lesotho.

Prince Harry passed the Regular Commissions Board and entered Sandhurst in May 2005.

He successfully completed a 44-week training course as an Officer Cadet, before being commissioned in April 2006 as a Cornet in the Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals).  He was posted to Windsor in May 2006 as a Troop Leader.

In February 2007, a joint statement from the Ministry of Defence and Clarence House announced that Cornet Wales would deploy to Iraq later in the year in command of a troop from 'A Squadron' of the Household Cavalry Regiment.

To mark a decade since the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, Prince William and Prince Harry organised two major events to commemorate and celebrate the life of their mother.  The first was the Concert for Diana, which was held at Wembley Stadium on 1 July 2007, on what would have been The Princess's 46th birthday.  The event featured some of their mother's and some of their own favourite artists.  All of the artists were invited to perform by Prince William and Prince Harry.

The second event was a Thanksgiving Service for Diana, Princess of Wales held at the Guards' Chapel in Wellington Barracks, London.  The service, held on 31 August 2007, the 10th anniversary of the Princess's death, was attended by members of the Royal Family, the Spencer family, charity representatives and friends of the late Princess.  Prince William, Prince Harry and Lady Sarah McCorquodale gave readings..."

Answer 2

Prince Harry of Wales, second son of The Prince Charles and younger brother of Prince William of Wales. A grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, he is third in the line of succession to the thrones of the United Kingdom and the other fifteen Commonwealth realms, behind his father and his older brother, Prince William.

Prince Harry holds the rank of Second Lieutenant (known in the regiment as Cornet) in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry of the British Army, the lowest Officer rank just like his brother, Prince William. Harry was a tank commander, trained to lead a 12-man team in four armoured reconnaissance vehicles. After the decision not to send him to Iraq, he retrained as a battlefield air controller, the job he performed in Afghanistan. He was serving on the front line in Afghanistan although he was pulled out on February 29, 2008 after the world media found out about his presence there and the British authorities became concerned for his safety and the safety of those around him. He had served in Afghanistan between December 14, 2007 and February 29, 2008, for a total of 77 days.

Answer 5

Prince Henry of Wales (Henry Charles Albert David; born 15 September 1984), commonly known as Prince Harry, is the younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and his first wife, the late Diana, Princess of Wales. A grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, he is third in the line of succession to the thrones of the United Kingdom and the other fifteen Commonwealth realms, behind his father and his older brother, Prince William.

Prince Harry holds the rank of Second Lieutenant (known in the regiment as Cornet) in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry of the British Army, the lowest Officer rank just like his brother, Prince William. Harry was a tank commander, trained to lead a 12-man team in four armoured reconnaissance vehicles. After the decision not to send him to Iraq, he retrained as a battlefield air controller, the job he performed in Afghanistan. He was serving on the front line in Afghanistan although he was pulled out on February 29, 2008 after the world media found out about his presence there and the British authorities became concerned for his safety and the safety of those around him. He had served in Afghanistan between December 14, 2007 and February 29, 2008, for a total of 77 days.

Harry's full title is His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales, although he is commonly referred to as Prince Harry. As a prince, he does not need a surname (which would be Mountbatten-Windsor, if needed). Like his brother William, however, Harry often uses "Wales" in place of a surname when required.
