Prince Harry: Royal life no fairytale

Associated Press

LONDON (AP) Prince Harry has told a TV interviewer that sometimes he and

Prince William wish they were just normal instead of royals.

He spoke to CBS News after a 10-day trip to the Caribbean and South America

representing his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, at Diamond Jubilee

celebrations. The successful trip marked Harry's first extended solo tour on

behalf of the queen.

Harry's comments received wide attention in the British press Wednesday when he

noted that it would be hard for a potential serious girlfriend to put up with

his royal role. He said it would be difficult to find someone willing to take

on the challenge.

Asked if royalty lived up to the fairytale, Harry said: "No, not at all. As any

girl would ever tell you. It's sort of, 'Oh my God, he's a prince.' But no. The

job that it entails - I mean look at me, I'm 27 years old, and not so much

searching for someone to fulfill the role, but obviously, you know, finding

someone that would be willing to take it on."

Harry said he and William know they were born to great privilege and also have

serious responsibilities.

"There's a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish, obviously, that

we were just completely normal," he said, adding that he and William hope to

use their charitable work to help the less fortunate.

Harry praised the queen and said her grandchildren might take her out for a

night on the town to mark her Jubilee.

The son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana is receiving advanced combat

helicopter training.
