This is the text (if you need help).

Britain's Prince Harry wants to make a difference in the world. The 32-year-old royal is fifth in line to the British throne. He talked exclusively to a British documentary team. In a candid interview, he spoke at length about his charity work and the effect the loss of his mother had on him at an early age. Harry confessed that for a long time after, he did not want to meet the expectations of being a prince. His charity work helping orphans and working with war veterans has given him a new perspective on life and on how he can use his position as a royal to do good.

Prince Harry said he did not always have such a positive outlook on life and used to "bury his head in the sand". He said: "I was fighting the system, going, 'I don't want to be this person'." Things have changed 180 degrees. He said: "Now I'm just so fired up and energised to be lucky enough to be in a position to make a difference…to make something of my life." The prince said it was, "fun to be good and boring to be bad". He said: "Whether it's in your local community, your village...walking down the street, opening a door for an old lady….Whatever it is, just do good."
