LONDON: Being the monarch is a tough job, but someone has to do it, even if reluctantly. In a interview, Prince Harry has suggested that none of the royal family actually wants the throne.

“We are involved in modernising the British monarchy. We are not doing this for ourselves but for the greater good of the people,” he said. “Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen? I don’t think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time.”

In an interview to media about his life and the future of the monarchy, the 32-year-old said several times that he longed to be something other than Prince Harry. .But he was also conscious of the ability of his status to help him make a difference, he said. “I feel there is just a smallish window when people are interested in me before [William’s children Prince George and Princess Charlotte] take over, and I’ve got to make the most of it,” he said in the interview at Kensington Palace.
