Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle may get most of the attention when it comes to royal family fashion, but Prince Harry is no slouch when it comes to style.
Born in September 1984, Harry really started to hit his style stride as an adult. From casual sports gear to the well-tailored suits he's since become known for, Harry's clothes typically blend his casual personal style with some royal elegance.
In recent years, he's even been color-coordinating with Markle as they continue their reign as the most stylish couple around.
Here's a look at Prince Harry's style evolution over the years.
In his younger days, Harry was often seen wearing casual gear while playing school sports.
The young royal often played soccer while attending Eton College in Windsor, England. Here, he's pictured in 2003 at the age of 18.
In March 2006, at age 21, Harry wore one of his best double-breasted suits during the Annual Parade and Service of the Combined Cavalry "Old Comrades" Association.
He completed the look with a top-hat for an extra touch of elegance.
Harry also served in the Army for 10 years starting in 2006, in which he was spotted several times in his uniform.
Here Harry is seen during a service of remembrance and thanksgiving at the Holy Trinity Church in Windsor, UK, in May 2008.
Harry and his brother Prince William also have had some great coordinating moments, proving they're some of the most stylish brothers around.
The royal brothers donned matching gear during a charity polo match in June 2008.
In June 2008, Prince Harry gave a rare glimpse of his red carpet style.
The then 23-year-old attended the premiere of "Quantum of Solace," perfectly matching with Prince William in a black tuxedo.
He also showed off his pilot style while completing his military helicopter training courses at RAF Shawbury in June 2009.
His green uniform features a name tag reading "Harry Wales," as his full name is actually Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales.
A year later in May 2010, the prince donned a different uniform for his pilot course graduation.
Harry completed the Operational Training Phase of the Army Air Corps at age 25.
Harry proved he had the perfect wedding day style while attending the service of former royal equerry Mark Dyer and Amanda Kline in July 2010.
His tie added a nice pop of color.
For Prince William's wedding in April 2011, a then 26-year-old Harry wore a traditional military uniform.
William was at his side in the bold red Irish Guards uniform.
Prince Harry kept it casual in jeans for the 2012 London Olympics.
He paired his jeans with some brown shoes and a white polo, while sister-in-law Middleton was at his side in a similarly laid back look.
In October 2015, Harry proved that the royal blue suit had become one of his go-to looks.
He also paired it with a new beard, which some might say he looks even better with.
When Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement in November 2017, they proved to be a stylish couple.
Though Markle's white wrap coat stole the show, Harry looked great next to her in his navy blue suit and black shoes.
Harry matched perfectly with Markle when they stepped out in coordinating navy blue coats in December 2017.
The moment established them as one of the most stylish couples around.
For the royal wedding in May 2018, Harry went with his Blues and Royals frockcoat uniform.
Buckingham Palace released a statement that the queen had given Harry permission to wear the uniform for the wedding.
And Harry proved he could even make a top hat look stylish during the Royal Ascot in June 2018.
Markle was at his side in a unique black-and-white design by Philip Treacy.
Since their wedding, Harry has kept up his penchant for sleek suits that pair well with Markle's outfits — as he did for this public appearance in September 2018.
Sometimes Markle swipes a page from Harry's fashion playbook and dons a suit of her own.

The couple also opted for light and fresh colors while on the same tour of Africa in October 2019.
Their chic and breezy fashion foreshadowed how Markle's style would change when the couple moved to California months later.
