Prince Harry has confirmed that he will be leaving the Army in June and has said that he has gone from "learning the hard way" in training to facing "challenging jobs".

In a statement, the prince known as Captain Harry Wales in the army asserted that after a decade of service, moving on from the army had been a really tough decision, People Magazine reported.

The 30-year-old Prince continued that he considered himself incredibly lucky to have had the chance to do some very challenging jobs and have met many fantastic people in the process.

Before he ends his active army career, Harry is set to spend four weeks in April and May seconded to the Australian Defense Force, and will join his father Prince Charles to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign by Australian and New Zealand troops in Turkey on April 24.
