LONDON, England -- Prince Harry has spoken of the influence his mother has had on him as he celebrates his 18th birthday.

In an official interview to mark his birthday, on Sunday, Harry said Diana, Princess of Wales, had "more guts than anybody" and had inspired him to carve a role for himself.

Whatcha thinking? Do you think this kid will have as much influence as , say, Amy Carter?

[Thinkin' Gal]

Whatcha thinking?

I'm thinking he looks more and more like Hewitt, or is the BBC just choosing Hewitt-looking photos?

Just very weird. I really hope Diana didn't do something this low to 'pay back' the royal family. Maybe MadIvan can shed some light on this.

Amy Carter! Funny how that name inspires derisive laughter.

[Paul Atreides]

Maybe it was just that Hewitt reminded Diana so much of Charles. Just look at how many people will get divorced, then go on to marry someone who looks just like the ex.

"...organisations that everybody else was scared to go near, such as land mines in the Third World."

Is there possibly a more chic "cause" than this? I have seen numerous celebs associated with this cause.

Typical post-modern double speak---reality is actually the OPPOSITE.

Actually, I think Harry looks like Diana's older sister, Sara did when she was young. I think it was yesterday I saw a different pic of Harry and you could see the Windsor blood - he looked a bit like the Queen's father (King George the VI or VII?).

The resemblance is really remarkable. What an odd coincidence. Did Diana know Hewitt 9 months before Harry was born?

[Thinkin' Gal]

Yeah but they are all related anyway. ;-)

Seriously, on a related note... I'm probably one of the few people here who thinks that Chelsea really is BillyJeff's child. Poor Web Hubbell, he surely had more self respect than that.

[Endeavor]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Diana apologist, but the campaign against land mines was going nowhere until she brought it to the forefront. Do I think she would have stuck with it? Perhaps, but it would be unlikely, given her penchant for moving from one whim to another.

Diana was a charismatic, engaging, strong-willed and undisciplined woman. That said, it is amazing she accomplished all that she did.

You are spot on. Why, just last afternoon some of us were commenting about our Labrador Retrievers. Funny how the same comparisons were used.

[Rocksalt]

I saw a TV show the other night which claimed the young princes had been imbibing in the evil cannibus frequently.Maybe they look up to Sir Paul McCartney more than their late mother.

"Amy Carter! Funny how that name inspires derisive laughter."

Something like "Pull my finger."

[TracyPA]

Harry has the same curly red hair as Diana's brother-Charles Spenser.

[Paul Atreides]

Or, President Al Gore.

Uncanny resemblance between Harry and Hewitt.  We don't follow royals much.  I wonder how long this other woman has been in the background.
