April 15, 2005 14:41 IST

Prince Harry, the younger son of the heir to Britain's throne Prince Charles, failed a basic computer skills examination at the Sandhurst military academy, a media report said on Friday.

"Although the computer test was a lot more complex than just sending emails, instructors were amazed that Harry failed it," a military insider was quoted in the Daily Mirror newspaper.

It said the Prince was not judged on his performance, but it was more of a chance for officers to assess his strong and weak points.

Harry, who has been training at Sandhurst, has revealed that he wants to join the Household Cavalry apparently because of its tradition as polo-playing regiment, something he is very passionate about.
