We all love Prince Harry. You take one look at him and you see his mother. It's in the way he looks and the way he acts. He's full of that classic British wit and charm.
His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales was born on September 15, 1984. (Yes, his name is actually officially Henry, not Harry.) He's grown up under the public eye, specifically under the eager eyes of women everywhere. The man is quite handsome!
But what do you really know about Prince Harry? Despite being literal royalty, he hasn't had a perfect life. Starting early when his mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a car accident, Harry has had some serious hurdles to overcome.
These facts about the handsome prince will give you a better look into his life, bringing you a few steps closer to him. Or at least, that's what you can tell yourself!

1. He Was "Beat Up" When He Played Rugby

Prince Harry has spoken honestly about how his opponents, and often teammates, took rugby as an opportunity to toss some extra blows his way. Even when he didn't have the ball, players would pile up on top of him, inflicting mostly minor injuries.
He's also said, though, that he think that he gave his fair share of blows back!
2. He Was Accused Of Cheating

While he was at Eton, he was accused of cheating on some tests. A former teacher claimed that she wrote part of an AS-level art coursework journal that Harry handed in, as reported by CNN.
The prince was later found innocent of these charges, and his record remains cheat-free.
3. He Was Relieved To Learn He'd Been Hacked

When private information started leaking to the media, Prince Harry was worried that his friends and close personal aides had been leaking the information. It came mostly as a relief to learn that professional hackers had succeeded in accessing personal phone messages and were leaking them to the press.
4. He's Worth $40 Million

But that's only his monetary net worth, according to The Richest. The number doesn't include the fact that he's a literal prince, his good looks, or his charming personality. (Though this is not to say that $40 million is a number to scoff at!)
5. He Does His Own Grocery Shopping

Prince Harry has made it clear that he wants to lead as normal a life as possible. This includes running his own errands and, apparently, doing his own food shopping. In an interview for Newsweek, Harry said that even if he was king, he would do his own shopping.
6. He And His Girlfriend Seem To Really Like Dinosaurs

He recently convinced the head of the Natural History Museum to stay open late so that he and his girlfriend, Meghan, could spend time in the exhibit alone.
7. He Doesn't Want The Throne

Harry is invested in modernizing the British monarchy, and has said that no one really wants to fill the Queen's shoes. Of course, what he means is no one can fill the Queen's shoes, exactly. Prince Harry, while dedicated to fulfilling his duties and continuing tradition, is very serious about bringing the monarchy into the 21st century. What exactly does that means? We will soon find out!
8. He Didn't Come Away From His Mother's Death Unscathed

Prince Harry is one of the first royals to speak openly about mental health issues. He told the Telegraph that it took until his 20s to seek professional counseling after a lifetime of feeling anxiety and general turmoil after Princess Diana's death. This follows his desire to modernize the throne, and to raise important issues that we all as humans cope with every day.
9. He Can Take A Joke

During the 2015 Royal Variety show, former Eton classmate and comedian Jack Whitehall tossed some roasts his way. When it was time for the two to shake hands after all was said and done, Harry pretended to snub the comedian out of a handshake. It was all in good fun, though, and we all got a good laugh out of the bit between two jokesters.
10. He Towers Over Most Of His Family

At 6'2, Harry is the second tallest in the royal family, right behind his brother William, who clocks in at 6'3. The only other royal to reach such great heights was Edward I, who was crowned in 1272.
For a point of reference, the queen is only 5'4!
