The beloved Royal is well known for his extensive charitable work for children and veterans, and in raising awareness of mental health.
And his work is soon set to bring him to Australia, with Prince Harry due to touch down in Sydney in early June.
A statement from Kensington Palace says the 32-year-old Prince ‘will attend events to celebrate the city’s hosting of the 2018 Invictus Games’.
The Invictus Games is the international sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women founded by the Prince in 2014.
They will take place from October 18 to 29 next year, with over 500 competitors taking part from 17 nations, according to the Games’ offical website.
Participants will compete in 11 different adaptive sports, and events will be held around the city, with Olympic Park and Sydney Harbour set to take centre stage.
It is not known if his girlfriend, actress Meghan Markle, will attend – though the pair are believed to have met while the Prince was attending an Invictus Games event in Toronto.
If she does, she may have to act as a body guard.
The last time Prince Harry dropped into Sydney for a visit two years ago he was inundated with kisses and marriage proposals.
Back then, Prince Harry was winding up his 10 years with the British army by spending a month on attachment with Aussie troops in Perth and Darwin.
When he arrived in Sydney to bid farewell to Australia, hundreds of fans lined the Opera House steps, some with signs emblazoned with ‘Marry Me Harry’ and ‘His Royal Hotness’.
One of his biggest fans, Victoria McRae, a 21-year-old student at the time, even managed to get a royal peck on the lips and squeeze in a quick proposal to her favourite prince.
