Pressure to settle down is off me: Prince Harry
London: Hinting that he might stay single forsome time, Prince Harry has said that after the birth of the first child of Prince William and Kate Middleton the "pressure" to settle down is off him.
Harry, 28, said his father Prince Charles was "over the moon" to have become a grandfather. He joked yesterday that the "pressure's off" him to settle down and have children now that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have had a baby.
He made the comments as he spoke to Royal Marines and their families on a visit to the Devonport naval base in Plymouth, The Telegraph reported.
After unveiling a plaque to open a new 30 million pounds training centre, the Prince spoke to Tasha Reilly, who was accompanying her partner Lt Col Tristan Harris.
"Harry was very down to earth. He said his father was over the moon to be a grandfather. I said 'No pressure' and he said. "No, now he's got one he'll be fine pressure's off'," Reillysaid.
The Prince reviewed a parade by 1 Assault Group Royal Marines before taking the parade salute. Joking when he first arrived about the chill in the air following the recent heatwave, he told Marines waiting to greet him: "Typical British, we complain when it's too hot and we complain when it's too cold."
Wearing his Household Calvary service dress uniform with his light blue Army Air Corps beret, the Prince then chatted to members of the parade and their relatives.
The Duke of Cambridge signed the birth register at Kensington Palace on Friday, witnessed by Alison Cathcart, the registrar from Westminster City Council. Prince George was born on July 22 at St Mary's Hospital in London and his name, George Alexander Louis, was announced two days later.
