Prince Harry says video games made him better pilot

Prince Harry has claimed that video games helped make him a better co-pilot gunner.

The 28-year-old spent 18 months in helicopter training in the UK and US, before being awarded a prize for best co-pilot gunner out of 20 classmates.

Harry revealed in a series of interviews that he struggles at exams, but the PlayStation assisted his flying skills.

"Exams were always a nightmare, but anything like kicking a ball around or playing PlayStation - or flying - I do generally find a little bit easier than walking, sometimes," he said.

Harry also made the bold claim of being the best FIFA player in his class.

"It's a joy for me because I'm one of those people who loves playing PlayStation and Xbox, so with my thumbs I like to think that I'm probably quite useful.

"You can ask the guys, I thrash them at FIFA the whole time."
