"He is not the boy we saw in the Vegas debacle," says a Royal source. "He is so much more grown up now. The Invictus Games changed everything for him, but also his own charity Sentebale and lately the mental health charity, Heads Together. He is devoted to making a difference."

But working hard and finding a purpose hasn't stopped Harry from still wanting to play hard as well. The Vegas incident provided a tipping point for Harry but it didn't cure his wild streak completely. As a friend explains, "He can no longer go out to clubs and be seen out in public behaving wildly but there are still parties. Nowadays, Harry keeps his circle of friends tight-knit and they tend to get together at stately homes and other private places. The truth is most of his party pals have settled down now. When his close friend, Guy Pelly, got married, that was a real nail in the coffin, although his best pal, Thomas van Straubenzee, the Duke of Northumberland's son, has become single recently so he's been a single bachelor pal for Harry to hang out with."

Friends insist the world's most eligible Royal bachelor does want to settle down himself one day. The delay has simply been in finding the right person, a search that has proved to be incredibly difficult. The two women Harry's ever loved, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, have ultimately not worked out because of his role as a Prince. "People call Chelsy his ‘Camilla' and hope one day they'll eventually be together as she was the great love of Harry's life," says a source. "They are still very close, but she finds it difficult to deal with everything that comes with dating a Royal. She has no desire to be in the Royal Family. And Cressida feels the same. William had ten years to give Kate a taste of what his life was like, and to build the trust they now have. It is hard for Harry to introduce someone new at this point, he can hardly go on Tinder to meet a woman."

It's a thoroughly modern princely dilemma.

Like all of us, Prince Harry has had his ups and downs, we've watched him both struggle and triumph. Four years on from his raunchiest scandal, he's proved he can use those mistakes for the better. As he approaches his 32nd birthday next month, he has been able to find more balance and purpose than ever before. Vegas might have been an unwelcome embarrassment, but it provided the motivation he needed to become the Prince he is today.
