Prince Harry Flying High on His Birthday

After enjoying a summer fling, diving into a bar's pool in Croatia and proving himself a major mover and shaker in London's financial district, what's left for Prince Harry on his birthday Thursday?

The 27-year-old is spending the day at RAF Wattisham airfield, where he's in the final throes of his training for Apache helicopters.

Then again, it's already been a week of hyper activity. Monday he attended charity day at the BGC financial firm in London - and took the phone call that broke the world record for the biggest currency trade ever, nearly $29 billion.

"He seemed quite a natural," says a royal source. "If he didn't work as an Apache pilot, he'd have a good second career."

The fundraising day - on behalf of 29 good causes, including Harry's Sentebale charity - is held in memory of the staff from BGC's sister company, Cantor Fitzgerald, whose entire office was wiped out in the World Trade Center attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Next up for Harry: a two-to-three month training tour in the U.S., where he'll visit bases in California and Arizona to fine-tune his combat skills.
