From runway debuts and political dreams to royal traditions, these young adults are living out their own stories but in public eye. Let’s take a look at where they are now!

30. Natalia Bryant

The eldest daughter of the late legendary basketball player, Kobe Bryant, Natalia grew up in the spotlight from a young age—mostly seen courtside, cheering on as her father played for the Lakers.

Elder son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is a member of the British royal family and was previously—like all children of the monarchy—surnamed Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. However, since King Charles’ accession to the throne and Archie’s title changing to Prince of Sussex, the couple decided to follow tradition and change his surname to signify the title of his parents—Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Admirers of royal tradition have been divided on the issue of this otherwise traditional change since Harry and Meghan are no longer actively serving as royal members of the British monarchy.

28. Louis Bardo Bullock
