It is the 30th birthday of our naughty Prince Harry. Born as Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales on September 15, 1984, he is the younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Did you know Prince Henry Charles Albert David Windsor, the second son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana will receive £10million of his mother's fortune on his 30th birthday which is on 15th September, 2014. The inheritance mentioned in the will of his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales, is the same as that received by his older brother Prince William on his 30th birthday in 2012. The money comes from a trust fund bequeathed to her two sons (Harry and William) at the time of her death in 1997.
