Prince Harry turns 35 on Sunday, September 15, just four months after welcoming his first child, baby Archie, into the world.

While His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales is certainly still young, he's already had a pretty incredible life, which is only set to continue as he and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex gear up for their first royal tour with Archie.

High-profile relationship and family life aside, Prince Harry has long travelled the world - both for pleasure and as part of his charity efforts.

His life hasn't been without its share of hardship, however. He and brother Prince William both struggled with their mental health after the death of their mother, Princess Diana, in 1997.

To commemorate his birthday, we've found the best photos from every single year of Prince Harry's remarkable life. Scroll down to take a look.

Harry was born on September 15, 1984. Here he is with his mother, Princess Diana, and brother, Prince William.
