Britain's Prince Harry today spoke out about his yearning for love and a family with children like his older brother, Prince William.

"Of course I would love to have kids right now but there's a process that one has to go through and tours like this are great fun. Hopefully I'm doing all right by myself," he said in an interview with Sky News during his ongoing tour of New Zealand.

"It would be great to have someone else next to me to share the pressure, but you know, time will come and whatever happens, happens," he added.

The royal, who was pushed down to fifth in line to Britain's throne by his new niece Princess Charlotte, is on a week-long tour of the Commonwealth nation before he returns to the UK. "There come times when you think now is the time to settle down, or now is not, whatever way it is, but I don't think you can force these things, it will happen when it's going to happen," the prince said.

The 30-year-old bachelor recently retired from the armed forces after completing a month-long attachment with the Australian defence force and will focus voluntary work in the coming months. He said he was looking forward to returning home to hold the new princess.
