Looking for a partner to share the pressure of royal duties: Prince Harry
Britain's Prince Harry said on Monday he wants to have children and would like a partner to "share the pressure" of royal duties.

It would be great to have someone else next to me to share the pressure. But, you know, time will come and whatever happens, happens I guess."The 30-year-old, who split from girlfriend Cressida Bonas last year, railed against being labelled "the party prince"."I never wanted that," he said, adding that he was looking for a role where he could "give something back" when he officially leaves the military next month.The prince, who has won praise in New Zealand for his down-to-earth manner, admitted both he and William wanted to work alongside "normal people" and earn a living."Both of us feel we need to have a wage as well, to work with normal people to keep us sane and keep us ticking along," he said."Surely in the future, from our point of view, if we want to make a big contribution and be taken seriously, we need to work alongside other people."Visiting remote Stewart Island, New Zealand's southernmost settlement, Harry told schoolchildren about his love of flying and why he always has to follow protocol when talking about his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.In an informal question-and-answer session with the 24 pupils of Halfmoon Bay School, he fielded queries ranging from whether he has a crown (no) to his favourite food (spaghetti bolognese).The prince, a favourite target for paparazzi, was also asked to name the best thing about flying a helicopter, and revealed it was the chance to get away from everyone."You have a moving office... there's only two of you in the office and no one else can bother you," he said.One child wanted to know what he called the Queen: "I call her granny," he replied."But I refer to her as the Queen because I'm in the army and she's my boss."AFP
