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.
