Prince Harry to keep romance private

London, April 23 (IANS) British royal Prince Harry wants to keep his relationship with pop star Mollie King out of the public eye so the pressure of public scrutiny doesn't get too much.

The 27-year-old royal is rumoured to be dating King and is worried that public interest could wreck their relationship so the couple have decided to only see each other at carefully-selected places.

"Harry saw how tough it was for his brother William and Kate Middleton [now Duchess Catherine] when they first started seeing each other. He knows the enormous interest in them drove them apart at one point so he really doesn't want that to happen to him and Mollie," dailystar.co.uk. quoted a source as saying.

"They have both decided to take things easy and not put pressure on their relationship. They want to carry on seeing each other but will only do so inside the private homes of a very few close friends who they trust," added the source.

It is believed that Harry and Mollie were set up by his cousin Zara Phillips, who is a friend of the singer's Saturdays bandmate Una Healy.
