Britain’s Prince Harry is obviously a big music fan. When he isn’t flying military helicopters, riding motorcycles, or stumbling out of nightclubs wearing pink nail polish, the prince can often be found attending concerts and/or flirting with pretty female singers.

So let’s take a look at some of the musicians Harry has favored with his royal attention recently. (I know he probably has an iPod, not a jukebox, but I’m feeling old school today, so please humor me.)

BASEMENT JAXX: Wikipedia informs me that this is a house music duo (electronic dance music). Supposedly Prince Harry dressed up in a gorilla suit to join them onstage in July. Sample Basement Jaxx video: U Don’t Know Me (warning: it depicts the Queen engaging in some, um, rather scandalous behavior).

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD: It’s being claimed that Prince Harry and the British pop singer have been secretly working on plans for a huge charity concert. Sample Natasha Bedingfield video: Pocketful of Sunshine (Simlish version — that’s the language spoken by characters in “The Sims” video games).

THE KILLERS: Harry reportedly hung out backstage with the pop-rock group in June. Sample Killers video: Spaceman (very New Wave).

NATALIE IMBRUGLIA: There have been lots of rumors this year that Harry has been dating the Australian singer-actress. Sample Natalie Imbruglia video: Wild About It (this video is allegedly based on the “kind of house party that Harry” enjoys).

DIZZEE RASCAL: Harry’s behavior during a backstage visit prompted this rapper to say, “If you weren’t royalty I’d have punched you in the face by now.” Sample Dizzee Rascal video: Bonkers (it makes me want to punch myself in the face).

I’m a big fan of Marilyn Braun’s Royal Blog and her funny and interesting weekly podcast, The Royal Report. If you haven’t listened to it yet, here’s a link to her recent episode about Britain’s popular, frequently apologetic, fictionally time-traveling Prince Harry.

Check it out… you’ll enjoy it.

Prince Harry certainly is popular these days. Musician Akon wants to teach him to rap. Daniel Craig — the most recent actor to play James Bond — thinks Harry has “everything it takes” to be the next 007.

Poor Prince William. Doesn’t anyone want to hear his mad rhymes or watch him jump out of an airplane without a parachute? Well, at least people still want to meet him.

A little gossip about Britain’s Prince Harry and his girlfriend, Chelsy Davy.

Is Prince Harry still wild for Nat?

Ben Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian in the new Chronicles of Narnia movie, reportedly based his character on Britain’s Prince Harry.

2009 UPDATE: Well, the video I embedded below is no longer available, and now I can’t find any authorized video of the memorial service! That’s a shame. But you can still read the text of Prince Harry’s (heartfelt and touching) remarks about his mother.

2008 UPDATE: The BBC used to offer a video of the full 2007 memorial service for Princess Diana, but the link no longer works outside the UK.

I looked around, and the best video I can find now is the one I’ve embedded below. It’s only 5 minutes long, but it includes Prince William’s reading and Prince Harry’s full speech. (2009 update: Video no longer available.)

Original post:

Information on TV broadcasts of the August 31 memorial service for Diana, Princess of Wales:

You can watch the memorial service for Princess Diana at the BBC site. For some reason the direct link to the video no longer works, but if you’re in the UK* go here and choose the “Diana’s memory celebrated” video. After that window opens, you will see another link to a video of the full ceremony. It’s about an hour long.

* 2008 Update: The video now seems to work only in the UK. And if it you’re in the UK and it still won’t work, my apologies. It’s the only link I can find to the full service.

Apparently Prince Harry is a character in a trilogy of science fiction books called The Axis of Time:
John Birmingham’s alternative history

Here’s the fictional Prince Harry’s Wikipedia entry:
Colonel HRH Prince Henry Charles Albert David “Harry” Windsor

The books are available at Amazon.

Dear Cinderella,

If I wanted to marry prince Henry what would be the best approach.

Ps ignore E-mail address. You can answer my question at [address and phone number]

I only reply to questions via email, so I can’t answer this question unless I answer it here. And unfortunately, I can’t really answer this question at all. If you want to marry a prince, your best bet is to meet him first, and princes don’t have enough hours in the day to meet all the people who want to marry them.

It is possible for an ordinary person to marry a prince: Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is one example. But she didn’t set out to marry Crown Prince Frederik. In fact, she reportedly didn’t know he was a prince when she met him.

So I guess my advice is: Forget about princes and start taking an interest in the people around you, and maybe you’ll find your prince after all.
