Prince Harry would love to have his own kids right now. The British royal, whose brother and sister-in-law Prince William and Catherine Middleton have just welcomed their second child, has admitted it would be nice to become a family man, but he is still waiting for the right woman to come along.

The prince got a bit personal in his new interview with Sky News, talking about his plans to start a family, his yearning to get a job and earn a wage, and his excitement over finally seeing his newborn niece Princess Charlotte.

“Of course, I would love to have kids right now, but there’s a process that one has to go through and… tours like this are great fun,” Harry told Sky from his hilltop bungalow on Stewart Island in New Zealand. He added that although there will come a time when he would have to settle down, he doesn’t think this could be forced as it “will happen when it’s going to happen.”

He further said, “Hopefully I’m doing all right by myself. It would be great to have someone else next to me to share the pressure.” Harry is understood to be single. He had been in a long-term relationship first with Chelsy Davy and then with Cressida Bonas.

In the meantime, he is enjoying playing uncle to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s kids, 1-year-old Prince George and the newly born Princess Charlotte. He hasn’t seen his newest niece yet, however, hinting Kate was expected to give birth earlier. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born on May 2 when Harry was in Australia as part of his army secondment in the country.

“He [William] sent me two photos: one before everybody else, which was nice, and then another — one with her back with George back home,” Harry said of Charlotte, adding he is looking forward to finally seeing her and holding her.

At age 30, Harry has already completed 10 years in military service. He would like to do more if he could. He admitted, though, that he is under immense pressure to make the right decision in his career, not wanting to be called “party prince” forever. In fact, he never wanted to be tagged with that label, but that’s how others see him.

He has a few ideas on what he would like to do next, saying whatever job he takes, he should earn his own salary. “This part of the role is fantastic but I and William — both of us — feel as though we need to have a wage as well; to work with normal people, to keep us sane, to keep us ticking along.”
