On Sept. 15, the youngest son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles is celebrating his next birthday in his new home in California, the first one he'll celebrate as a newly emancipated member of the royal family. You know what that means, right? He's an Earth sign and these photos from over the years prove Prince Harry is a Virgo right down to the ground.
The Duke of Sussex has spent his entire 36 years living almost constantly in the spotlight at a member of the royal family, which naturally gives royal watchers the impression that they know him. Obviously, none of us really knows him, but to get a better sense of who the husband of Meghan Markle really is, let's just go ahead and look to the stars.
Prince Harry is a Virgo since he was born on Sept. 15, 1984, making him an Earth sign. Markle was born on Aug. 4, making her a Leo. According to Live About, Virgos and Leos are a great mix because they are both productive, take-charge kinds of people. So now we know that at least. But even just looking at photos of the prince from over the years, you can really get a sense of his Virgo-ness.
Creative
Virgos are known for being creative souls, and who looks more creative than Prince Harry wearing a red nose for his school's Red Nose Day in 1991?
Stubborn
Prince Harry probably wasn't meant to stick his tongue out at the press corps while leaving Portland Hospital in 1988 after meeting his baby cousin Princess Beatrice. But, in pure Virgo fashion, he stubbornly did what he wanted anyhow.
Kind
In 2006, Prince Harry visited a children's home in Lesotho. The look of pure loving kindness on his face as he looked into the eyes of this child... that is such a Virgo thing to do. And so like his own mom.
Patient
Virgos are also known for their patience. At an Invictus event in Toronto, Canada in 2017, Prince Harry charmed everyone when he patiently allowed a little girl sitting next to him to sneak a bunch of his popcorn. He could be seen patiently playing with her and keeping her occupied. His son, Archie, is a lucky little boy.
Hardworking
Prince Harry might have stepped away from his senior royal role, but he remains a hardworking Virgo, following in his own mother's footsteps. He was quite literally following in Princess Diana's footsteps when he visited the Halo Trust, a minefield in Angola, Africa, in 2019 — the same one his mother visited years earlier.
Responsible
When Prince Harry became a father for the first time in May 2019, he introduced his baby boy to the public by carrying him out to meet the press. This is a little unusual in the royal family, as it tends to be the mother who carries baby. He also made a point of protecting his family by keeping birth details private, because he is a responsible Virgo.
Loyal
Virgos are known to be loyal, and I think you would be hard-pressed to find a more loyal husband than Prince Harry. Ever since he married Meghan Markle in May 2018, he has gone above and beyond to prove he is loyal to his wife by always talking about her in glowing terms, and oh yes... that little thing where he stepped back from the royal family after his wife was constantly criticized by paparazzi.
Observant
Look at the way Prince Harry is looking at his mom at her father Earl Spencer's funeral in 1992. That's one observant Virgo, keeping a watchful eye to make sure his mom is feeling OK.
Modest
What a modest little Virgo teenager Prince Harry was when he met the Spice Girls in South Africa in 1998. He could have looked all arrogant and confident, but instead I think I detect a blush on his shy face.
Independent
Look at the independent little Virgo skiing ahead of his mom and big brother, Prince William, on a ski holiday in Switzerland in 1991. He's proudly proving he doesn't need any help, so there.
Perfectionist
Please look at this little Virgo in 1995, standing to attention with his family. It might have been Prince William's first day at Eton College, but perfectionist Prince Harry stole the show.
Helpful
In 1990, Prince Harry was heading off to nursery school at Wetherby while pulling a little school friend along by the hand. What a helpful Virgo.
Poised
Already in 2001, Prince Harry was showing some trademark Virgo poise as he greeted the families of victims of 9/11.
Settled
After years of living life as a bachelor, Prince Harry has finally come to enjoy that classic Virgo trait of being settled with his wife and little boy. And it looked great on him last September when he and his little family met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu in South Africa.
Faithful
In 1988, Prince Harry was already a faithful little Virgo sitting on his mom's lap in Spain and looking like there was nowhere else he would rather be.
Self-Aware
Self-awareness is a lovely Virgo trait, and Prince Harry clearly had it in spades when he was pointing to Trevor Rose's muscles and laughing in a self-deprecating way in 2016.
Philanthropic
Prince Harry's philanthropic nature, on display in February 2019 when he was handing out food, didn't just come from his mom, Princess Diana. It's also a well-known Virgo trait.
Organized
Prince Harry was already proving to be an organized little Virgo when he was checking out a vintage firetruck with his brother at Sandringham Estate in 1988.
Stylish
What can you even say about such a stylish Virgo visiting Santa Claus in 1990? He was chic from birth.
Lifelong Learner
As a graduate of Eton College, Prince Harry has proven to be a lifelong learner like a true Virgo.
