Charlize Theron: 'Prince Harry is lovely'

Charlize Theron has described Prince Harry as "super nice" after they met at a recent polo event.

Theron was photographed laughing with the prince at the Polo Cup in Ascot in May.

The actress praised Harry for his work in Africa, where he helped establish the charity Sentebale to help orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho.

Theron, who was born in South Africa, told reporters at a recent party to celebrate the launch of new watch Dior VIII: "He was really lovely. Super nice. I really like the work he does in Africa."

The 35-year-old was at the party to support her own Africa Outreach Project, which she founded to help prevent the spread of HIV among teenagers.

Theron also revealed that she is still single following her split from actor Stuart Townsend in January 2010 after ten years together.

"I'm single. My life has been really good. I've had a lot of great opportunities given to me. There's a part of how much I am grateful... that makes me want to do this work in Africa," Us Weekly quotes her as saying.

Theron will next be seen opposite Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth in movie Snow White and the Huntsman.
