The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian star Ben Barnes based his character on an unlikely source – the UK’s Prince Harry.

The 26-year-old is actually the same age as Harry’s elder brother Prince William, but admits that Caspian is more like the younger, more laid-back royal.

He says, “Caspian is not a swashbuckling heroic Prince Charming, but Americans expect somebody like that. Their concept of a Prince is Disney – that’s all they know.

“But I’ve grown up with two princes, one my age, one my younger brother’s age. Prince Caspian makes mistakes; Harry goes to a party dressed as a Nazi. Caspian does something heroic; Harry goes and fights for his country without telling anyone.

“I think it’s interesting that they are real people, making real decisions about their lives, but they have the responsibility that they may or may not want.” (via The TSD Blog)

    Chelsy really needs someone to help her find out which “friend” keeps leaking photos of her to the papers and to other blogs. Is it because she is the girlfriend of the second-in-line? I find it funny that all the papers say the queen is concerned about Kate getting a job and not shopping to much, etc… but you don’t see photos of Kate like you do Chelsy.

    The bad part is Harry is seen building a school with his mates and she is seen drunk and throwing caution to the wind. There’s nothing wrong with having a good time but not like that. She should be in africa doing something good so she would be included in the news by doing something good like Harry.

    I think Kate and Chelsy are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. If they were to start doing charity work, the press would turn it into a negative thing, atleast until one of them gets a ring. I just think that Chelsy seems to have to much of a good time and someone enjoys getting photos of her while she is doing it.

    That’s good to hear that Harry is building a school in Africa with the help of his army mates.

    Sorry Wills and Harry but Caspian so tops my prince list. Followed by Aragon. Then maybe either Wills or Harry I haven’t decided yet. Hehe. I suppose I like the dashing hero idea too much. It is a girl’s fantasy after all. :lol:
