A planet's house is read at the recorded birth time.
Dhanu rose over London from 3:05 to 5:01 pm, so a 4:20 pm birth falls well inside it. Jupiter rules Dhanu. It sits here just inside its moolatrikona degrees, the part of a sign where a planet is most at home.
Saturn stayed in Tula all day, so the sign is certain for any birth hour. On 6 March 2014 he announced the Invictus Games for wounded service members. That came in Saturn's sub-period, a shorter stretch inside the main one.
The Sun was in the very last degree of Simha. It held the sign all day and moved into Kanya (Virgo) the next morning. Mercury, the planet of speech and skill, shares this house.
The Moon reached Krittika at about 2:17 pm, two hours before he was born. The Sun rules this nakshatra. In his chart that Sun is in its own sign.
Prince Harry's chart rises in Dhanu (Sagittarius), and its ruler Jupiter sits right there in the first house of self. That placement forms Hamsa Yoga. His 4:20 pm birth came 75 minutes after Dhanu began to rise in London.
The Sun and Mercury share the ninth house of luck and faith, in Simha (Leo). Saturn, the planet of duty and patience, is exalted, in its strongest sign Tula (Libra), in the eleventh house of gains and friends. Mars is in its own sign Vrishchik (Scorpio), in the twelfth house of faraway places, with Ketu in the same sign.
His Moon is in Mesh (Aries), in Krittika nakshatra, in the fifth house of creativity and learning. What follows places his chart next to his public record. It is not a claim that the planets made his choices.

A mahadasha is a long planetary period that lasts several years. An antardasha is a shorter sub-period inside it.

Every main period and every sub-period here holds even with a birth time 15 minutes either way.
Five of the six events fall in Rahu's long period, from 2007 to 2025. Rahu sits in his sixth house of service and struggle.
The Afghanistan tour and both Invictus dates came in Saturn's sub-period. Saturn sits exalted, in its strongest sign, in his eleventh house of friends and shared causes.
