Harry, who was said to be the uneasiest about the relationship, later tells reporters, "She's always been very close to me and William...She's not the wicked stepmother.

Ready for Iraq?
Harry, 22, begins a course that troops usually undergo before heading to the war zone. The media speculate that he will serve on the frontline in Iraq, possibly becoming the first senior British royal to do so since the early 1980s. But in May, the head of the British Army announces that Harry will not be deployed to Iraq due to the threat to his safety and those around him.
Remembering Diana
Harry and William plan a service with their father to mark the 10th anniversary of Diana's death. At the service, Harry gives a heartfelt speech: "To us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world." Also in attendance is Queen Elizabeth, Elton John and photographer Mario Testino.
Harry & Chelsy Split
After more than three years together, Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy Davy call it quits, according to London newspapers that claim Davy, 22, was upset with the prince's playboy lifestyle, including his attending the rugby world cup final in Paris in October instead of celebrating her birthday with her.

Harry Fighting in Afghanistan
British army officials confirm that Harry has been fighting on the frontline in Afghanistan since Christmas Eve. The Palace and the Ministry of Defense hoped to keep the mission secret. The 23-year-old Prince, a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry, told the British Press Association that serving in Afghanistan gave him "the chance to do the soldiering I wanted to do from ever since I joined." Once news breaks, Harry's sent home, where he reunites with girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
