Prince Harry: royal life is no fairytale

How many times have we watched those movies where the Prince or Princess white everything, wish they were just normal? Well the British royals are no different says Prince Harry. He told CBS News that sometimes he and his bro Prince William  wish they were just regular guys.

Is it all a fairy tale Harry? "No, not at all. As any girl would ever tell you. It's sort of, 'Oh my God, he's a prince.' But no. The job that it entails - I mean look at me, I'm 27 years old, and not so much searching for someone to fulfill the role, but obviously, you know, finding someone that would be willing to take it on."

"There's a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish, obviously, that we were just completely normal," he said, adding that he and William hope to use their charitable work to help the less fortunate.
