Happy Birthday to Prince Harry! On Thursday, September 15, the Duke of Sussex officially turns 38 years old. However, unlike in previous years, no celebration has been taking place due to the passing of Harry's beloved grandmother - Queen Elizabeth II. Together with other Royal Family members and the whole country, Prince Harry is mourning the death of Her Majesty. While it still remains unknown whether the Prince would throw an intimate party following the Queen's funeral, let's take a trip down memory lane to visit his memorable moments over the years.
