Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.

With 358,929 views on Tuesday, 9 March 2021 our article of the day is Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, (Henry Charles Albert David; born 15 September 1984) is a member of the British royal family. As the younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales, he is sixth in the line of succession to the British throne.

Born in St Mary's Hospital, London, Harry was educated at Wetherby School, Ludgrove School, and Eton College. He spent parts of his gap year in Australia and Lesotho, then underwent officer training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He was commissioned as a cornet into the Blues and Royals, serving temporarily with his brother Prince William and completed training as a troop leader. In 2007–2008, Harry served for over ten weeks in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He returned to Afghanistan for a 20-week deployment in 2012–2013 with the Army Air Corps. In June 2015, he resigned from the army.

Harry launched the Invictus Games in 2014 and remains the patron of its foundation. He also gives patronage to several other organisations, including the HALO Trust and Walking With The Wounded. To encourage people to open up about their mental health issues, Harry, alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, initiated the mental health awareness campaign "Heads Together" in April 2016. In 2018, he was made Duke of Sussex prior to his wedding to American actress Meghan Markle. Their son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, was born in 2019. The couple is expecting a baby girl in the summer of 2021. The following year, the couple stepped down as senior members of the royal family and moved to the Duchess's native Southern California. In October 2020, they launched Archewell Inc., an American public organisation that focuses on non-profit activities and creative media ventures. On March 7, 2021, Harry and Meghan appeared in a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey on CBS, detailing the reasons behind their decision to step back from the royal family.
