Harry: I wish I was ‘normal’

PRINCE Harry has admitted he sometimes wishes he were “normal – and suggested his royal duties can be offputting to women.

Harry gave an interview at the end of his ten-day tour to the Caribbean and Brazil to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Asked if royalty lived up to the fairytale, Harry told US broadcaster CBS News: “No, not at all. As any girl would 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 fulfil the role, but obviously, you know, finding someone that would be willing to take it on.”

During his interview he also spoke of the responsibility that comes with his royal status.

He admitted his title can make a “huge difference” to a country or charity, but added: “There’s a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish, obviously, we were just completely normal.”
