Prince Harry and Prince William wish they were ‘normal’

Princes Harry and William often wish they were “normal”.

While the royal siblings are grateful that their titles can help them raise awareness and money for worthy charities around the world, including Harry’s Sentebale, the 27-year-old prince admitted they sometimes wish they weren’t born into royalty.

Speaking to CBS news, he said: “There’s a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish obviously that we were just, you know, completely normal.

“But we’ve been born into this position. And then therefore, we’ll do what we need to do to make a difference to the people and to kids that need it, you know? It’s, it really is that simple for us.

“We’re very privileged in the position that we are. But, you know, with privilege comes great responsibility, is what they say.

“And it’s amazing what the title that we have before our name, what effect that can have on a country, on a charity, or whatever. So, yeah, we’re 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.”

Harry has won plaudits for his relaxed demeanour on his recent tour of the Caribbean and Brazil on behalf of his grandmother and he explained he took his cues from the easygoing nature of the local people.

He explained: “We’ve had so much fun. To be honest with you, right for the word go – I knew this was the way that had to be.

“These are countries that don’t take themselves too seriously. They enjoy life. Everything’s fun. You’ve got to get along with them. You can’t just sit there with your arms crossed, and wearing a tie or whatever.

“You’ve got to relax, you’ve got to go with the flow. That’s when you get a chance to see what the country’s like, what the people are like. But with them showing all the warmth that they have, you’ve got to give something back.”
