The younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana recently shot down rumors claiming he has been involved with Kate's sister, Pippa, since breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, MSNBC.com reported.
"Pippa? Ha! No, I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I'm 100 percent single," Britain's Daily Mail newspaper quoted Harry as saying Friday. "I'm working a lot at the moment, so dating and watching TV are the last things I have time for."

The script for the season opener is not finished yet and exactly how Harper will die has not been determined, TMZ said.
