Prince Harry has admitted he sometimes wishes he was "normal" and suggested his royal role can put women off.

The prince spoke at the end of his 10-day tour to the Caribbean and Brazil, which included duties as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Oh, but that would require having to hold a job

Prince Harry is a qualified Apache pilot who has already served in Afghanistan as a FAC until the press announced it and he was pulled to prevent turning his cohorts into a larger than life target.

What's your job?

O vait, just ein minut! Since the Royals are German, the trouble with Harry is that he's not looking in Vaterland.

(It must have been the first and last time that someone searched Google for 'german brides'!)

If Harry has high morals and is not swayed by gold-diggers, the barriers could be titanic. Not to mention the girls who probably must be subjected to constant security screens. I could see where this is harder than it looks.

There are tons of young women who grew up reading romance novels about commoners like themselves marrying a prince. There are even princess charm schools to prepare aspirants to be the next Kate. Prince Harry should look a little harder and give these young ladies a chance to be social climbers.

Wed Aug 17 2011 Prince Harry dumps model girlfriend

The 26-year-old royal ended his three-month romance with Florence Brudenell-Bruce, the daughter of a wine merchant, to concentrate on his Apache helicopter training.

"Harry enjoyed spending time with friends over the summer, but he doesn't want to be tied town in a relationship when training, so he called time with Flee," a source told the British newspaper. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2764696/posts

Maybe he should have a chat with his dad, the riding instructor. Oops, I mean Prince Charles.

I know precisely what you mean. I grew up in a family of capitalists whose business failed. I have a high school education and a ferocious work ethic.
I got a unique job that I was very qualified for and started making if not 1 percenter money, 3 percenter money a few years ago. Never having money before, I was stupid and spent it as fast as I made it. I actually would compare it to a drug. Drugs are escapism and what better escapism than to have money cover all your problems? So I flashed and spent it stupid and you wouldn’t believe the women that show up. I swear I couldn’t find one that doesnt see me as an ATM first. Took me a few years, but I got smart. I take my crappy 2003 Pontiac workhorse when I go out, nobody sees my house unless I am pretty sure they are into me more than a solution to their financial problems. So yeah, I can see where being English royalty could cause alot of problems in your personal life.
P.S. It’s a problem, but I can’t really feel bad for him. I mean c’mon, he is single, rich, young and royalty. im sure he is having alot of fun.

Ha!! An ex of mine always said her 1st husband didn’t care about her, it was always the Army. All he cared about was the Army etc. I asked her what he did, she said “Apache pilot” I said “Well, OK...”

Well, he could always marry a Princess, you know, like Princes used to do.

I think he really would rather just be a career military man and have nothing to do with royalty.

Prince Harry put his ass on the line in the defense of his nation. That is good enough for me.

The prince also spoke about his responsibilities as a royal, referring to the work he can do for good causes. He said: "There's a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish, obviously, that we were just completely normal. "We've been born into this position and therefore we'll do what we need to do to people and to kids that need it. It really is that simple for us."

I don't know if you or your brother noticed, Harry, but civil rights in Britain ain't exactly what you'd call exemplary. Maybe ya'll could speak up about them a bit. You know, the Muslim plague, the sterling healthcare, little things like that.

'Course, that'd definitely piss off Grandma.

So upon reflection, I guess it's no wonder you prefer combat.

Harry should go to Canada and make a statement like that. The young ladies would mob him. He should marry a resident of one of the Commonwealth nations to make the monarchy more inclusive.

Prince Harry seems to have turned out to be normal and decent. He appears to genuinely like being around people, especially little kids. Diana’s one redeeming quality.

I hope he finds a nice young lady who is a perfect match for him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted a large family.
