Prince Harry is all set to join the Army's most elite Apache helicopter unit.
The 28-year-old, who recently qualified as an Apache commander, could soon be flying from an aircraft carrier while taking part in some of the most challenging missions faced by pilots, the Daily Express reported.
He is one of three pilots given the chance to gain operational maritime experience with the Royal Navy's high-readiness force.
The move would see him join 656 Squadron Army Air Corps.
Harry is currently serving with 662 Squadron, which has seen numerous operational tours in Afghanistan where it is due to serve a last mission in 2014.
