Current events [edit]

When I read the 'military career' section, it looks more like a current events listing, than an encyclopedic description of his military career. I was under the impression that Wikipedia was not Wikinews.--Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎 16:49, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Future Titles [edit]

In the Title section it mentions "If his father succeeds to the throne....". I'd like to see that extended: what would be Prince Harry's title if he himself succeeds to the throne? (I admit that it interests me largely because I believe he would be King Henry the Ninth.) ShawnVW (talk) 19:34, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Only if he chose that as his regnal name (which, admittedly, he likely would). But he doesn't have to--Harry's great-grandfather, the former Duke of York, went by Bertie but reigned as George VI. 63.116.103.10 (talk) 21:27, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Genetical father [edit]

I know, we had this discussion here already, but after seeing this picture, i ask myself if there is a valid reference that "Harry was already two years old when Diana first met Hewitt" (this sentence ended the previous discussion on november 2010). --Agatha Bauer (talk) 02:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

There are three references given. How many more do you want? Vilĉjo (talk) 23:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Cressida Bonas [edit]

I think it's time to add something about her and nix the "100% single" nonsense. ABC News has reported it, as have several British papers. I know all this nonsense about accuracy and the like, but it's getting significant media attention and is an important part of his life. "Kate Middleton" had a page on her as early as six years before she and William married. Maybe it won't go anywhere, but she should be worth a one-sentence mention like "Cressuda Bonas has been dating Prince Harry since..." 74.69.11.229 (talk) 13:17, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

I think that this is reasonable. She has notable relations and ancestry, if not notable in her own right. Kiltpin (talk) 11:38, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Current Title [edit]

Shouldn't the title of the article be "Prince Henry of Wales" rather than the diminutive of his forename? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RogueTrader101 (talkcontribs) 18:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

That has been discussed. Really it should be his full formal title as you suggest or it should be his common name – Prince Harry (i.e. his given name). But we have left it here. DBD 22:08, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Henry v Harry [edit]

Some kind of mention as to why he's known as Harry rather than Henry would be nice. An above comment mentioned that it's the diminutive of Henry - is that true? If so then it ought to be mentioned in the article.--ЗAНИA talk WB talk] 17:46, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
