Yes, it is Henry. Harry is an affectionate pet name for anyone called Henry, just as Jack is the pet name for someone called John.

There is a tradition of calling the English kings named Henry, Harry. Henry VIII was referred to as 'royal Harry' and in Henry IV Pts 1 & 2 Shakespeare refers to Prince Henry as Harry, or even Hal.

Wikipedia carries Prince Harry's entry as "Prince Henry of Wales (Henry Charles Albert David; born 15 September 1984), commonly known as Prince Harry, . . ."

Harry is a common nickname for Henry along with Hal. If in doubt, consult Shakespeare's Henry IV.

Everyone calls him Harry, but his true name is Henry. He was very unhappy when introduced to a crowd in Canada as "Prince Henry".

Absolutely. When he was born it was made public knowledge by Princess Diana and Prince Charles that although he was to be christened Henry, he would be known as Harry.

Henry is his actual name with Harry being the affectionate version. If he were ever to become King, he would be King Henry IX (ninth)
