25 Times Prince Harry Looked Like He Needed a Stiff Drink
Of all the members of the British royal family, Prince Harry strikes us as the most likely to put on a Dave Matthews album and drink a few Strongbows with his pals on the beach. But even the most chill royal has those moments when he looks as if he could use a day off and a couple of shots of tequila. We imagine we're going to be getting even more of those slightly haggard looks in the near future, because his first baby is due any day now. A busy schedule and sleepless nights with a newborn? Better stock up on the vodka -- believed to be Harry's drink of choice.
Prince Harry's schedule has only become more packed since marrying Meghan Markle last May, as the two have taken on more and more responsibility in the royal family. Becoming a husband and family man has really had Harry picking up his game lately, so it's understandable that he occasionally looks like he could use a good, stiff drink. He's always been involved in charity work and advocacy, but his platform has become more bigger now that he's the Duke of Sussex.
Harry and Meghan also just moved to Frogmore Cottage at Windsor Castle, but they almost didn't make it before the birth of Baby Sussex thanks to construction delays. Queen Elizabeth gifted them the home as a wedding present, but it needed extensive renovation, as it had previously been broken into apartments for royal staff members. Now it's a five-bedroom home, complete with a gourmet, dine-in kitchen, a yoga studio, and a high-tech nursery and sound system. And we're pretty sure there's a bar in there somewhere that Harry will want to keep fully stocked so he can take a moment with a cold one when he needs to relax.

Final Countdown
Harry looked as if he was counting down the minutes until the end of the New Zealand vs. Australia match at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Maybe he wasn't particularly invested in either team, or maybe he just really wanted dinner already. We'll probably never know.
Military Memory
Prince Harry served in the royal Army for 10 years, including two tours in Afghanistan. He continues to work closely with wounded warriors in particular, with his international Invictus Games. We're sure he's seen some stuff and wouldn't refuse him a drink.
Remembrance Sunday
On November 11, the United Kingdom recognizes the armistice ending the First World War between the Allies and Germany, which was signed at Compiègne, France, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. It's heavy stuff, which definitely deserves a toast.
So Ready ...
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were touring in New Zealand in the fall, shortly after announcing their pregnancy. We don't know if it was the jet lag, the newlywed euphoria, or having a newly pregnant wife, but Harry looks beyond ready to raise a glass in this photo.
