Prince Harry has spoken of his self-doubts over being able to cut it as an Army pilot while he trains at a Shropshire airbase.

The 24-year-old prince, who is training at RAF Shawbury with brother Prince William, said at times he had questioned if he had the mental ability to get through the “intense” flying courses.

Harry is currently training to be a pilot with the Army Air Corps while William is training to become an RAF search and rescue pilot.

The younger sibling welcomed living with his brother and sharing digs. “We hardly ever see each other. And now we are living together and it’s fantastic,” Harry said.

He even gave an insight into the domestic arrangements the two princes have in place.

“(William) does most of the cooking. I spend time just lying around, watching TV and doing my work. The RAF don’t have to work as hard as the Army,” Harry joked.

As part of his flying courses, Harry has to go through intensive schooling in a number of aircraft including Squirrel helicopters.

William has reportedly been giving tips to his brother ahead of his first helicopter flight.

Harry admitted to finding parts of the training tough. He said: “The flying courses are so intense. It’s surprised me. There’s times when I thought, you know, I’m really not cut out for this, mentally. I hope I’ve got the physical skills to fly a helicopter.

“But mentally, there are the exams and everything. I mean, I can’t do maths, I gave that up when I left school, as anyone does at that age, But I’ve been throwing myself back in the deep end.”
