Prince Harry reveals his royal role makes it hard to find love

Prince Harry says in a new interview that it isn’t easy finding love, given his royal position, and reveals that at times “both myself and my brother wish that we were just completely normal.”

Prince Harry sat down for a talk with Seth Doane of “CBS This Morning” while in Brazil on Sunday. In the interview, which aired in part yesterday and today, the 27-year-old Apache helicopter pilot is very candid with his comments.

PRINCE HARRY ON QUEEN ELIZABETH II: ‘SHE IS VERY FUNNY’

“I’m not so much searching for someone to fulfill the role, but obviously, you know, finding someone that would be willing to take it on,” he says of finding a girlfriend comfortable with his lifestyle. The prince had a longtime on-and-off relationship with Chelsy Davy, which ended in 2010 amid reports that she did not desire royal duties.

When asked if being a prince was all it’s cracked up to be, the third in line for the British thrown said, “No, not at all, ha ha – as any girl would ever tell you. It’s sort of, ‘Oh my god, he’s a prince.'”

Prince Harry furthers that sometimes he wishes he wasn’t a royal.

“We are very privileged in the position that we are, but, you know, with privilege comes great responsibility is what they say,” he says. “The title that we have before our name, what effect that can have on a country on a charity or whatever. We are slowly coming to terms with and accepting the fact that the name can make a huge difference therefore, you know, you’ve got to use it … There’s a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish, obviously, that we were just completely normal.”

As for the worst part of his royal upbringing, Prince Harry says that it was interacting with the largely uptight adults around him.

“Listening to the boring people,” he says. “You can imagine the kind of dinner parties I had to go to at such a young age. Pretty dull.”
