Prince Harry in 2015
HELLO.
I cannot resist a slightly melancholy half-smile.
Prince Harry in 2015
SUIT BUTTONING.
Prince Harry in 2015
What would happen if Harry were to show up in a grey flannel suit somewhere next year? Would that kick off an ancient curse culminating in Great Britain getting sucked into the Hell Mouth?
Prince Harry in 2015
It's not a Harry retrospective without plenty of snaps of him in uniform.
Prince Harry in 2015
Everyone in the Cambridge/Wales clan has now officially visited this (very beautiful) wall of poppies.
Prince Harry in 2015
A tip of the hat to you, too, sir.
Prince Harry in 2015
ALSO a cheerful general salute.
Prince Harry in 2015
This was an attractive outing.
Prince Harry in 2015
One day these two very attractive people will find their way back to each other, if even for just one perfect, fleeting moment. (I've just decided this.)
Prince Harry in 2015
That time Harry hung out with baby rhinos.
Prince Harry in 2015
Ooh, hello. Thumbs up to you, too.
Prince Harry in 2015
Harry loves a thumbs up.
Prince Harry in 2015
Also a wave.
Prince Harry in 2015
And also, potentially, a beret.
Prince Harry in 2015
I make no such promises.
Prince Harry in 2015
INDEED.
Prince Harry in 2015
This is just the cutest. (Also, some love for the baby in the foreground who is NOT impressed.)
Prince Harry in 2015
You guys, he even brought cupcakes.
Prince Harry in 2015
He IS practicing the haka here, which requires tongue protrusion.
Prince Harry in 2015
Yes, I WILL place my hand in yours so that we can run into the future together as -- wait, did I just actually say that? Let's move on.
Prince Harry in 2015
I decided Glasses there is actually actor Clark Duke.
Prince Harry in 2015
ACTION SHOT!
Prince Harry in 2015
Just gonna leave this one here...
Prince Harry in 2015
Speaking of action shots.
Prince Harry in 2015
SPEAKING OF ACTION.
Prince Harry in 2015
It seems I downloaded A LOT of White Polo Pants Pics. So brace yourself. (I do LOVE the Sweatshirt Haphazardly Tossed Over Polo Gear look.) He's so DIRTY here.
Prince Harry in 2015
Whatever was happening in this exchange, Wills found it quite amusing.
Prince Harry in 2015
I can only imagine what Harry is texting his latest paramour here.
Prince Harry in 2015
"Don't worry, mate. I know my audience."
Prince Harry in 2015
I love a confident dismounting.
Prince Harry in 2015
Also, forearms. Always forearms.
Prince Harry in 2015
TA-DAH!
Prince Harry in 2015
Harry also spent a LOT of time with this (very lovely) trophy this year.
Prince Harry in 2015
"I'm just going to take this home, okay? Hello? No one minds, right? Didn't think so."
Prince Harry in 2015
"I was just keeping it safe for you."
Prince Harry and Michelle Obama
Harry also spent some time this year hanging out with Michelle Obama (and, I believe, Sasha and Malia, at least briefly). I LOVE this dress on Michelle.
Prince Harry and Michelle Obama
"And I was like, 'Kate, you NEVER like it when you cut a fringe,' and she yelled at me to mind my own business. I was just trying to help!"
"I understand. People are always weighing in on MY bangs."
Prince Harry and Michelle Obama
This photo really really delights me. Michelle is like, "give it up for this guy," and this guy is like, "well, I guess you probably should give it up for me!"
Prince Harry in 2015
Harry DOES look younger without his beard. I am firmly pro-beard. That's just an observation.
Prince Harry in 2015
As I joked originally, I like to think that this is where Kate sends Harry to think about what he's done.
Prince Harry in 2015
And this is how Harry is going to look on your honeymoon to Hawaii.
Prince Harry in 2015
"And I told her that, frankly, I think my extension is PERFECT. Beginners ballet, my ass."
Prince Harry in 2015
Oooh, more uniforms!
Prince Harry in 2015
I enjoy the various expressions of delight on everyone's faces here. (Also, these ladies look sharp in their cadet uniforms.)
Prince Harry in 2015
FLIGHT SUITS.
Prince Harry in 2015
So many flight suits.
Prince Harry in 2015
As you may recall, Harry is here holding a man's cane because one of the Spitfires everyone was going to take up for a Battle of Britain event broke, and he decided not to fly so this next person could take a plane up....
Prince Harry in 2015
...this was legitimately maybe my favorite thing that happened this year. (You can read the entire post here.) No coincidence, this was also Harry's Christmas card. Seriously. Does this mean we are soulmates?!
Prince Harry in 2015
Sigh. The best.
Prince Harry in 2015
I probably should have put this in the Wills and Kate post -- since it's 66% Cambridges in this shot -- but I did not. Sportsfaces for the win! I love this pic. Kate's DELIGHTED, Harry CANNOT BELIEVE IT, and William is totally saying the eff word.
Prince Harry in 2015
Being a sports fan is hard work, and that's not sarcasm from me. I have SUFFERED for my teams.
Prince Harry in 2015
"It's okay. We still love you."
Prince Harry in 2015
Whoops, this is Wills. Whatever! Brotherly cameo!
Prince Harry in 2015
In case you get them confused.
Prince Harry in 2015
Feel free to put this on your piano and tell people it's your family.
Prince Harry in 2015
Or this!
Prince Harry in 2015
OR THIS.
Prince Harry in 2015
"Kate's gonna want to see all these sheep. It's so picturesque."
Prince Harry in 2015
"In another life, maybe I do could have been a rugby player. Just think about my thighs."

Does this child have a question, or is he waiting for a high five? Either way, it's cute.
Prince Harry in 2015
Does THIS child have a question, or is HE waiting for a high five? Either way...you know the rest.
Prince Harry in 2015
For some reason, I find the beard EXTRA hot in this picture. The wistful expression really sells it.
Prince Harry in 2015
I am all into the zip-neck sweater on men. In case you're keeping track.
Prince Harry in 2015
Harry clearly agrees, as he's got two of them.
Prince Harry in 2015
Make that three! Obviously, these two are discussing how to keep their matching hair healthy and vibrant
Prince Harry in 2015
This looks like such a good hug.
Prince Harry in 2015
Lots of good hugs this year, in fact.
Prince Harry in 2015
Plus a little bit of drinking.
Prince Harry in 2015
A dash of tuxedory...
Prince Harry in 2015
...and then, of course, the traditional Sticking One's Head Into the Mouth of a Shark, without which no year is complete.
Prince Harry in 2015
You adorable scamp. Never change.
