Prince Harry is having a busy April. First he had to hold his brother Prince William’s bachelor party in anticipation of the wedding of the century on April 29th to Kate Middleton. And of course there is the wedding itself.

Prince Harry To Throw Prince Williams His Bachelor Party

But in the meanwhile, Prince Harry has been promoted. In recognition of his time served in the Armed Forces, Prince Harry is being promoted to Captain. According to US Magazine Prince Harry:

was also awarded his Apache Badge from the Officer in Command of his squadron on Thursday, marking the completion of his eight-month Apache Conversion to Type course.

The course is not for the faint of heart and despite being a Royal and what would seem to be a privileged life, Captain Prince Harry of Wales took ground school training, three months of night flying, in a complex simulator, and he and his classmates were challenged in environments that included cloud filled skies, and navigating complex and congested airspace.

The final challenge in the course was a two-week mountain flying exercise in the French Alps. Being the multi-tasking Prince that he is, Harry is also organizing William’s evening wedding reception at Buckingham Palace. What? It’s true! Says a Palace Aide:

“The DJ, the playlists, cocktail menu, food ideas. . .so much is all from Harry,” the palace aide said. “Bless Harry, he’s put his heart and soul in to it. There is very little being planned by a party planner for the latter half of the evening reception [which is split into two halves]. It’s all about the young crowd and Harry wanted to make it fun and appropriate.”

How impressive! It’s all part of his wedding gift to the royal couple:

“When in London, he’s attended meetings at St. James’ Palace with a number of other staff to make sure Prince William and Kate [Middleton] get exactly what they want that night,” the aide noted. “This is one of his gifts to them.”

With any luck Prince Harry will be the Martha Stewart of the Royal Family and advise all of us on how to have the Royal Wedding of our dreams.
