At the time of his birth, he was third in the line of succession to succeed his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. He is currently fifth in line after his nephew, George, and niece, Charlotte. After an education at schools in the United Kingdom and spending parts of his gap year in Australia and Lesotho, Harry chose a military career, undergoing officer training at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He was commissioned as a Cornet into the Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry Regiment, serving temporarily with his brother, and completed his training as a troop leader. In 2007–2008 he served for 77 days in Helmand, Afghanistan but he was pulled out following publication of his presence there by an Australian magazine. He returned to Afghanistan for a 20-week deployment in 2012–2013 with the Army Air Corps. He left the army in June 2015. ==Early life== Harry was born at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, on 15 September 1984 at 4.20 pm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prince Harry - Biography )〕 He weighed .〔 He was baptised on 21 December 1984 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie.

Harry began to accompany his parents on official visits at an early age; his first overseas royal tour was with his parents to Italy in 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Prince of Wales > At Work > Countries Visited )〕 Harry's parents divorced in 1996, and his mother died following a car accident in Paris the following year. Harry and William were staying with their father at Balmoral at the time, and the Prince of Wales told his sons about their mother's death. At his mother's funeral, Harry, then 12, accompanied his father, brother, paternal grandfather, and maternal uncle, Earl Spencer in walking behind the funeral cortège from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prince Harry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
