Education
Harris, brother Jamie and Damian, were educated at Ladycross School, a former preparatory board independent school in Seaford, East Sussex, as well as his brothers Jamie and Damian. "They were all about discipline, with cold showers every morning," he says, and "you were never recognized by your first name." You were either called by your phone number or your last name. Damian was 'Marris Ma' for the major' since there were three of us. I was 'Harris Mi' for minor,' and Jamie was 'Harris Minimus,' being the youngest and the tiniest.' He then attended Downside School, a Catholic boarding independent school in Stratton-on-the-Fosse (near the market town of Shepton Mallet) in Somerset, South West England. He went to Duke University in the United States, graduating with a BFA in drama in 1984 and then returning to England to study acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama in 1989.

His portrayal of King George VI in the first season of The Crown received praise from critic Matt Zoller Seitz, who stated that despite the series' large ensemble, "Harris still manages to communicate the character’s understated sensitivity and awareness of his circumscribed role in England’s drama so poignantly that one can’t help being moved by the performance".

Harris said that he was "gratified" that the series inspired curiosity about the real expedition, remarking, "It’s sort of fitting that history will recall that it was the RCGS that first recognized The Terror, and that we as the recipients walked in the footsteps of Louie Kamookak."
