One possible outcome of this is the possible heroic role of the 26-year-old Prince Harry. The Prince 
recently completed the ten-month course to learn how to fly the £46million attack chopper.
One source told The Sun: “Only the top two per cent of military helicopter pilots make it to the Apaches and Harry has had to work extremely hard. There is no way his status as a Royal could have got him this far.”
A spokesman for the Prince – officially Lieutenant Wales of the Army Air Corps – said he was “delighted” to have qualified after training which has cost upwards of £1million so far.
Harry will now go on to learn how to operate the Apache’s awesome weaponry, including Hellfire missiles and deadly laser-guided cannons.
