Happy Birthday Prince Harry: Royal Turns 31 — His Most Memorable Moments In Photos

Prince Harry, the youngest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, is turning 31-years-old today, and these photos will show you why he is beloved by his subjects.

Let’s face it, Prince Harry (and to an extent, his brother, Prince William) has been known for being a party animal in their younger days. Since William got married to Kate Middleton and is now the father of two-beautiful babies, his partying days are over, but his kid brother is still very single — although there are constant rumors about his love life.

On his birthday, we look at why Prince Harry has such special place in people’s hearts. The photos speak for themselves, so take a look at how the royal has turned into a man his mother would be proud of.

These are some of the reasons why Prince Harry is so beloved, not only by his subjects, but millions around the world. The now-31-year-old knows how to enjoy himself, but at the same time has become very involved in very worthwhile charities, especially Sentebale in Lesotho, as explained by the Prince’s website.

“Sentebale is a word that people in Lesotho use when they say good-bye to each other: it means ‘forget-me-not. It has been chosen as the name of the new charity because the two Princes see its work as a memorial to the charity work of their own mother; and because its aim as an organization is to ensure that Lesotho, and the current plight of its children, is not forgotten.”

Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William continue the legacy started by their mother, Princess Diana, but for now it’s time to celebrate turning 31.
