Daniel Radcliffe tired of being mistaken for Prince Harry

It`s a comparison not many people will mind, but `Harry Potter` star Daniel Radcliffe is tired of being compared to English royal Prince Harry.

London, July 14: It`s a comparison not many people will mind, but `Harry Potter` star Daniel Radcliffe is tired of being compared to English royal Prince Harry. The 19-year-old star has revealed that people in foreign countries often mistake him for the flame-haired royal, who he has not even met, Female First reported.
"I`ve never hung out with Prince Harry. I`ve not met him and I don`t know any of his friends. This is the distinction other countries need to make about England. There are levels of posh," Radcliffe said. "I am posh and middle-class, absolutely, but he`s on another echelon of posh. I`m certainly not in his circle and I would probably not come across anyone in his circle," he added. "Not that they`re doing anything wrong - but that symbol of class division is not something I particularly like," he said. The 19-year-old actor believes that the mix-up might be due to his character in the boy wizard movie franchise sharing a name with the 24-year-old royal. However, this is not the first time Daniel has spoken about the royal family. Earlier this year, he sparked controversy when revealed he was unsure why UK still had a royal family. "I am not a royalist. Not at all. I just don`t see the use of the monarchy - though I`m a fierce patriot. I`m proud of being English, but I think the monarchy symbolises a lot of what was wrong with the country. Not that they`re doing anything wrong - but that symbol of class division is not something I particularly like," Radcliffe had earlier said. Bureau Report
