Prince Henry of Wales (Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor) (born
September 15, 1984), informally named Prince Harry by his parents, is the
third in the line of succession to the British throne and the thrones of
other Commonwealth Realms, behind his father, the Prince of Wales, and his
elder brother, Prince William of Wales. He is the grandson of Queen
Elizabeth II. He has generally been regarded as a carefree, fun-loving, and
rebellious member of the British Royal Family.
Prince Harry is the second son of Britain's Prince Charles and the late
Princess Diana, and the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II. (He is commonly
called by his nickname of Harry, though his birth name is Henry.) The Prince
is third in line to the throne, after his father and his older brother
Prince William.

Like William, Harry attended Wetherby and Ludgrove schools; in September of
1998 he entered Eton College. He is due to follow family tradition by
entering the Sandhurst military academy in 2005, preparing him for a
possible military career.
Harry caused a ruckus in January of 2005 when he wore a Nazi uniform to a
friend's costume party and photos made their way into British newspapers...
The Royal Family revealed in January 2002 that Harry had smoked marijuana on
at least one occasion during the previous summer; among other parental
measures, Prince Charles sent him to visit a drug rehabilitation center for
a day.Profile:
