Prince Harry
Britain's Prince Harry has been taught what to do if he is kidnapped behind enemy lines.
The flame-haired royal - who is a trained helicopter pilot - took part in a training exercise at RAF St. Mawgan in Cornwall, England to teach him what to do if he crashes in enemy territory while on a mission and is captured by a terror group.
A source said: 'He's being prepared for capture and torture by the enemy in a warzone. It doesn't get more real than this.
'If Harry's Apache helicopter goes down he's on his own. These exercises are glimpse of what he might face in a worst-case scenario.'
Among the unpleasant situations Harry - who has previously served in Afghanistan - had to endure were being hooded and mentally tortured, but he is thought to be confident of passing, meaning he can return to the front-line of fighting.
The source added: 'He'll have been hooded and mentally beaten to the ground. Obviously nothing can prepare for the cruel reality of capture but this is designed as a wake-up call. If he gets through this he'll make the grade. He's sure he will.'
