Prince Harry Gets Kiss in Australia, Talks New Niece

— -- Prince Harry got more than he bargained for while wrapping up his month-long tour with the Australian army Thursday.

The 30-year-old prince was greeting young fans on the steps of the famous Sydney Opera House when one woman, wearing a tiara and holding a “Marry Me Prince Harry” sign, managed to talk Prince Harry into a kiss.

When Prince Harry obliged to 21-year-old Victoria McRae’s request for a peck on the cheek, McRae instead went in for a full-fledged lip lock.

“I just said, ‘This is the third time I’ve proposed to you. Put a girl out of her misery,'" McRae said of the moment.

Prince Harry's reply to McRae's proposal was a cheeky: “Can I think about it?”

Captain Harry, as he is known in the British Army, missed the birth of his first niece, Princess Charlotte, while he was embedded in Australia. The prince told fans that Australians have been generous with their gifts to Charlotte.

“I’ve been given a hell of a lot of cuddly toys this morning,” he said. “I’m looking forward to meeting her. She’s beautiful.”

Harry will not see Princess Charlotte, who was born May 2 to Duchess Kate and Prince William, until mid-May, when he returns to England from a week-long trip to New Zealand.

William and Kate on Wednesday moved their family – which also includes nearly 2-year-old Prince George – from Kensington Palace to their country estate, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, on the Queen’s Sandringham estate.

The couple, who are expected to stay at Anmer Hall through the summer, have reportedly asked the paparazzi to leave them alone at Anmer Hall through letters signed by the couple’s spokesman and handed out to the media by Norfolk Police.

When Prince Harry returns home to England, he will be just days away from the end of his military career.

Harry’s operational service with the Armed Forces ends in June, after which the prince will perform volunteer work alongside conservation experts in Africa.

In the fall, Harry will return to volunteer work with the Ministry of Defence’s Recovery Capability Programme while considering other long-term opportunities. He will also continue to support the work of the queen and the royal family with official domestic and international engagements as well as his charitable responsibilities.

The prince has said he also plans to continue his advocacy on behalf of wounded, injured and ill troops.

Princess Charlotte's birth moved Harry to fifth-in-line to the British throne, behind his father, Prince Charles, his brother, Prince William, nephew, Prince George and Charlotte.
