Despite just last week declaring he would love to settle down and have kids, Prince Harry claims he’s 'more than happy' living the bachelor life right now.
Asked by reporters if he felt he could relate to unlucky-in-love novel-turned-film character, Bridget Jones, the 30-year-old royal exclaimed: "I’m no Bridget Jones! "Bridget Jones? That's sad."
"No, for me, it’s good – I’m very happy not having a girlfriend," he said.

Harry, whose previous girlfriends include first-love, Chelsy Davy and socialite Cressida Bonas, added: "It’s not a case of anything ... I'm not, sort of, looking. It's cool."
The prince also opened up about being an uncle to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s two children, George and Charlotte, revealing he would encourage them both to join the military when they grow up.
"I would definitely encourage George, and Charlotte if she wants, to have some sort of involvement in the Armed Forces, guaranteed," he said.

"It's done me no harm, just good and it's the same for William. And I know that William and Catherine would probably echo that as well, depending on the situation for them in those years to come."
As for his advice to his niece and nephew about living out their life in the spotlight, he would encourage them to 'make the most of it'.

"As an uncle, you know, I would say enjoy the role, because at first it’s just pressure, pressure, pressure," he said.
"Just enjoy it and make the most of it. If you’re going to be doing it and you’re having an effect on so many people then, if you smile, they’re smiling – and what’s the point of doing such a unique job without enjoying it?"
