His older brother Andrew also excels in this also. In fact during the Falklands war the queen instructed the captain of Andrew's ship that the fact he was royalty was to have no bearing on his service. Andrew was a chopper pilot and went out and fought just like the other pilots. I wish it were Harry or Andrew in line for the throne and not Charles. However, I suspect it is a lot more fun to be Andrew or Harry as opposed to the Prince of Wales.
Not to be nitpicky or anything, but Andrew is his uncle.
