Prince Harry is by far one of our favorite royals. From his dashing good looks [1] to his kind heart and willingness to help others [2], it isn't hard to tell why. While the 32-year-old has been in the spotlight for his entire life, there is one key fact we didn't know about him [3]: his real name isn't Harry. Turns out, his birth name is Henry [4] (full name Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor [5]), a popular English name for kings. The word itself is loosely translated to mean "home ruler [6]" (even though he's fifth in line for the throne [7]). The fact that he uses a nickname is also pretty coincidental seeing that his girlfriend, Meghan Markle [8], also doesn't go by her birth name [9].
