Prince Harry has been busy lately on behalf of Her Majesty, recently completing successful tours in New Zealand, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
Not surprisingly, according to the Telegraph, a royal source said Prince Harry was "proud and pleased" to receive the big honor. "It is very significant for him personally," the source added.
Knighthood comes at a big turning point in Harry's life, as he's set to leave the military later this month after 10 years of service.
