British Royal Wedding

Prince Harry has signalled his determination to follow in his late’s mother’s footsteps by making his first political speech on the issue of Aids and global poverty.

Speaking at a reception to mark the third anniversary of his charity, Sentebale, the prince said he ‘aspired’ to follow Princess Diana’s example in fighting for ‘the deprived and afflicted’.

Harry, who has until now shied away from public speaking, told friends beforehand that ‘my mother didn’t mince her words and nor will I’.

A source close to Harry said: ‘This was his most outspoken speech yet. While he knows he needs to get more experience under his belt before he can project himself on the global stage as she did, the one thing he learnt from her was the value of being blunt.’ ‘

He knows the only way to solve the crisis facing Lesotho at the moment is to be blunt about its problems and blunt about the solutions needed.’ (via Daily Mail)

The TV presenter, 29, made the shock remark during a boozy evening out with pals.

Harry’s brief relationship with Gladiators host Caroline ended at the weekend after he told pals he was desperate to patch things up with Chelsy.

A source said: “Caroline started off the night watching her friend play a gig at a pub.  She was dancing away and knocked back several glasses of red wine with pals. Then she picked up a copy of The Sun and started reading aloud the coverage about her and Harry splitting up.” Caroline was clearly upset – and ranted to pals: ‘Chelsy Davy is a f****** irritating t***. In the flesh she is not even that pretty’.”

The source added: “Caroline was livid. Her girlfriends were consoling her, telling her things would get better in time.” (via The Sun)

The lovelorn Royal, 24, told a friend: “I lost the best thing that ever happened to me and I’m paying for it.” And he told Gladiators host Caroline, 29, she will never replace Chelsy, his first true love, according to Palace sources.

Earlier this month Harry contacted a pal in Cape Town, where Chelsy lives, to open his heart about their split in January after five years together. He said: “I don’t know when I’ll be in Cape Town again” – and made the admission that he had lost the best thing that ever happened to him.

A friend of Harry’s told the paper;

“Everybody makes it sound like Harry dumped Chelsy and he’s having a ball playing the field. But it is actually the other way around. Harry is taking it quite hard.”

“Chelsy’s friends think Harry would like to get back together with her. That’s why he’s telling her friends that he misses her and that she’s the best thing that ever happened to him. He’s trying to tell her that he messed up and wants her back because he can’t be without her. He’s definitely not over her.”
