Prince Harry's most revealing series of interviews to date, he has spoken of his the difficulty in finding a partner. Harry, who is fourth in line to the throne, told that he is focusing on work the Invictus Games, over his love life, until Prince George, his nephew, starts to make him look "boring."
Regarding his privacy the Prince said the Royal family is "completely aware that we are in a very privileged position," but criticized "incessant" intrusions.
"Even if I talk to a girl, that person is then suddenly my wife, and people go knocking on her door," he admitted "massive paranoia" about even talking to women, because of the attention.
With the failure of relationships with Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy has concerned the Prince. "If or when I do find a girlfriend, I will do my utmost to ensure that me and her can get to the point where we're comfortable before the massive invasion that is inevitably going to happen into her privacy," he said.
"To be fair, I haven't had that many opportunities to get out there and meet people. At the moment, my focus is very much on work. But if someone slips into my life then that's absolutely fantastic."
"When people finish work in the City or wherever work is, if you want to have a bit of downtime, you might go to the pub with your mates," he said. "I do that less, because it's not downtime for me
I don't know who I'm going to bump into, I don't know if someone's going to try and grab a selfie. So there is very little private life."
Diana and her legacy, the Prince said he is still "trying to fill an unbelievable pair of boots" left by the death of his mother in a Paris car crash in 1997.
"What you see is what you get with me," he said. "It's genuine. I will always try and bring an element of fun and happiness to everything I do.
"That probably is subconsciously very much a part of my mother - trying to fill that void. Trying to fill an unbelievable pair of boots, whether it's her... or especially the Queen. It's a hard thing to do." He added: "There's this gaping void, not just in mine and William's lives, but there's a huge gaping void in a lot of other people's lives too," Harry said.
Regarding his career the Prince specified that he is bothered by his 'playboy' image. And also the criticism that the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were more official than him.
"I thought long and hard about getting a job," he said. "I did 10 years in the Army - best job in the world. I wanted to be valued in society in that sense... I don't get any satisfaction from sitting at home on my ass, and that's a body part by the way, not a swear word." His efforts to find a full-time job have been hampered by the difficulty of combining a profession with other royal duties but he is keen to become a rugby coach and next year will build what aides call "a more formal role" in championing sport.
