Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is the youngest son of King Charles III and Princess Diana, and he’s fifth in the line of succession to the British throne.
The duke tied the knot with former actress Meghan Markle in 2018 at St. George's Chapel, and they share two children: Archie (3) and Lilibet (1). In January 2020, the couple stepped down from their royal duties and moved to Montecito in Santa Barbara, California. They are still actively involved in charity work and have pursued different business ventures, from their partnership with Netflix to Prince Harry's mental health series with Oprah Winfrey for Apple TV+.
