Britain’s Prince Harry has conceded that he may not be cut out to be a combat helicopter pilot as the academic challenges of his military training are daunting due to his inability to “do maths”.

“There’s times when I thought,I’m really not cut out for this,mentally. I hope I’ve got the physical skills to fly a helicopter. But mentally,there’re 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 have been throwing myself back in the deep end,” the media quoted the third-in-line to the British throne as saying,at the end of his first official engagement abroad in New York.

Prince Harry,who is training with the Army air corps,also spoke about sharing a house with his brother William for the first time since they were at school and said that they do share domestic chores though the second-in-line to the British throne does “most of the cooking”.

“Now we’re living together and it’s fantastic,it really is. He does most of the cooking. I spend time just lying around watching TV and doing my work. Because the RAF don’t have don’t have to work as hard as the Army. And I do the washing up,” he said.
