It probably depends on what happens when Harry returns to London.
When does he get back?

I like Prince Henry's attitude.
He will know when the right woman will come along.

I'd much rather see Harry happy in the life he chooses for himself and if he does eventually marry and have children it is for all the right reasons.

Harry will most likely go on to have a family of his own. The media have to back off and stop trying to send him down the isle with every young girl he meet or dates.
In many cases it simply takes time to find the one who you want to settle down with and, in Harry's case, the one lady will have to deal with a lot in order for that to happen. It all takes a great deal of maturity.

Oh, I'd much rather see Harry stay single than marry and have kids out of pressure, for the sake of everyone involved!

There isn't any pressure on Harry from his family. There isn't a lack of heirs-we have 3 of them directly in line. It would be nice for him to share his work but it needs to be the right person. Maybe with the next one, he will take a cue from his brother and build a friendship first out of the spotlight. Maybe one of his military colleagues. That would be something different.

Harry probably feels pressurised to settle down not from his family, but from himself. I suspect he wants to find the happiness his father, brother and cousins (Peter, Zara and the York girls) appear to have found with what appear to be compatible partners. I suspect he longs for the happy domesticity that he probably has not enjoyed for a long time, if ever. These are probably the things that put more pressure on him than his family.

I have been saying all along that Harry might do well to look to a female military colleague with some level of steadiness, discipline and maturity for a partner. But the all-important factor is that she be able to adapt into the life of a royal and be able to withstand the constant scrutiny. And I'm sure a lot of pressure that Harry must be facing is internal rather than from external forces.

I think we have to remember that without quantity "X" is doesn't matter where she comes from because it's a non-starter. If there is no "spark" it really doesn't matter how amazingly suitable/adaptable/acceptable . . . you name it, if he and she don't have it, all is for nought.
And so we wait.

Well, if this article is to be believed, his female colleagues are certainly trying

I think Henry should stay single for a while.

Oh, indubitably, that's a given; that all-important spark must be present in addition to the lady's other qualities. 
And that's why Harry should take his time and wait for the right one to come along with all the winning attributes. He shouldn't allow any pressure, whether internal or external, to rush him into marriage with the wrong woman. Better he marry late in life and wisely than too soon just to see his marriage end sadly.

Just don't whether or not to feel sorry for him, in his position and trying to live somewhat of a normal life must be very difficult for him. He seems like a really nice young man with a great sense of humor and takes things in with easy grace yet, it must be difficult for him to try and find a nice girl with out all the media on his back. He is one very handsome gorgeous young man/prince and just bet behind closed doors there are times he has had enough! Wishing him all the best in life, really hope he finds his soul mate without a lot of trouble.
