In honor of Prince Harry's 39th birthday, travel back in time with these young photos of the royal.&nbsp;

As a member of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/meghan-markle-will-not-join-prince-harry-uk-trip-royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Family</a>, the Duke of Sussex has had an extraordinary life. Having been thrust into the public eye from the day he was born, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/prince-harry-unhappy-move-united-states-meghan-markle-royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a>'s transformation over the years has been a remarkable one. Over the past three years, in particular, he and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/megxit-how-prince-harry-meghan-markle-lives-changed-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meghan Markle</a> have experienced a whirlwind of emotions. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/prince-harry-meghan-markle-stepping-down-royal-duties" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stepping back from royal life</a>, moving to Santa Barbara, signing a Netflix deal, and undergoing a lawsuit against The Sun, it's clear that the Sussexes have a lot more information to share.&nbsp;
Released in late 2022 was Prince Harry's memoir, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/prince-harry-book-spare-bombshells-meghan-markle-royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spare</a>, which was an honest and personal account of all his experiences, from childhood to fatherhood. The book addressed the rumors about whether or not he was <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/how-princess-diana-prince-charles-broke-royal-traditions-wedding-marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Charles</a>' biological son, his life growing up as a royal and the complicated relationship with his family.
Now, the Duke of Sussex focused on other priorities, mainly his family and charitable organizations. As he turns 39 today, L'OFFICIEL celebrates <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/prince-harry-meghan-markle-life-in-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a>'s birthday by taking a look back at some of his best moments from when he was younger.&nbsp;
