Britain's Prince Harry is training to become a skydiver with the Red Devils.
The 24-year-old royal recently announced his plans to become a helicopter pilot, and is now reportedly aiming to become a qualified freefall parachutist.
He will be taught on the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) course by the Red Devils - elite members of the Parachute Regiment.
Harry has already completed a 13,000ft jump at the Red Devils' Salisbury base in order to reach the first of eight levels of increasingly dangerous jumps he must pass to win his Category A skydiving license.
The prince - who is an Army officer and has spent two-and-a-half years with the Household Cavalry - was allowed to take part on the AFF course after being invited as a special guest
He was accompanied on the jump by two Red Devil instructors who acted as guides.
A spokesman for the prince said: "Prince Harry enjoyed his experience very much. If diary commitments allow, he would like to do more jumps."
Harry will eventually complete a solo freefall jump from two miles in the air.
