The Prince added that he would definitely encourage his nephew Prince George and niece Princess Charlotte to have โ€œsome sort of involvement in the armed forcesโ€ and was sure his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Catherine would โ€œechoโ€ his support.

The Prince retaliated against The Guardian newspaper dubbing him a male Bridget Jones, saying he was โ€œhappy not having a girlfriendโ€ and wasnโ€™t actually looking for one.

In June Prince Harry leaves the army and he revealed next for him is three months shadowing a vet in South Africa working with animals from tracking poachers to darting lions and elephants.

โ€œItโ€™s going to be amazingโ€ says Harry who like his brother is dedicated to supporting wildlife conservation around the world.

In the wake of the release of โ€œthe black spider lettersโ€ in which his father Prince Charles advises government ministers on matters heโ€™s passionate about, Prince Harry says โ€œMy father never really gets listened to, which is disappointing because whatever he says normally is right.โ€
