Prince Harry is turning 35 today!

The second-born son to Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana has won many fans over the years – what better way to celebrate the Duke of Sussex than with all the times he’s melted hearts over the internet.

We’ve compiled five things that’ve made the internet totally fall in love with Prince Harry.

1. He’s a rule breaker

Prince Harry broke royal protocol after he shut his own car door when he attended the recent fifth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

According to the Mirror, the prince might be following in the footsteps of his wife, Meghan, who made the same royal faux pas last year after she arrived at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

2. His sweet honesty

Earlier this year the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their firstborn, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and since then the royal dad has been settling into his role of fatherhood quite well.

During a recent Travelyst launch, the dad quipped that for the first time since his son was born he was able to have “the best night’s sleep I’ve had in the last four months,” Hello! Magazine reported.

Today, The Duke of Sussex met with young people doing ground-breaking work in their communities as part of Dr. Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Global Leadership gathering. Started in 1991 by world renowned ethologist and primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, with just 12 high school students in Tanzania, Roots & Shoots brings together young people from around the world who are leading projects in their communities to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment. Today @RootsAndShoots has over 150,000 groups in over 50 countries - the collective power of these young people is limitless. His Royal Highness believes that people are at the heart of conservation and sustainability and that in order to succeed we need an inclusive, community-centred approach. In his roles as President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, The Duke has met young people from around the world who are leading the way with creative sustainability solutions and campaigns – it is thanks to the creativity of young people’s minds, that we can turn the tide and preserve our planet for future generations. After listening to presentations on endangered species, reducing plastic waste and embracing the wild, The Duke had the chance to thank all the young people taking part for their efforts and the difference they are making every single day. As a continuation of our monthly social awareness approach, for July we turned our attention to following accounts featuring the environment. @JaneGoodallInst, founder of Roots & Shoots, is one of those selected profiles, having dedicated her life’s work to bettering our environment and world.

5. His love for his son

Like any proud parent, the prince couldn’t be happier to be called little Archie’s father.

"As I said, I am so incredibly proud of my wife, and as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to die for," he said speaking to the media following Archie’s birth in May.
