PRINCE Harry failed a challenge to change a nappy one-handed – and joked that his brother would fare no better – during his visit to the headquarters of a brain injury charity.
The 28-year-old prince's first stop was Bradbury House, headquarters of Headway, in Bagnall Road, Old Basford.
Hundreds of people turned out to greet the prince, who arrived at 10.30am.
As well as attempting to change the nappy using just one hand, Prince Harry was also challenged to walk wearing visual impairment goggles and experience what it is like without a sense of touch – all possible side effects of brain injury.
It came after meeting brain injury survivor Dominic Hurley who fell off a moped 18 years ago, which left him in a coma for three months.
When he came round he had to learn to do everything all over again and he still has minimal use of the right side of his body.
He explained to Prince Harry how difficult it was to change the nappies of his three-year-old daughter, Nina.
The 40-year-old added: "A lot of people said that I would never walk or talk again and it has been a struggle.
"I don't really remember my life before the accident.
"My brain is now like a big wall; you throw mud at it and some of it sticks, some of it slides off gradually and some things don't stick at all."
Struggling to fasten the sides of the nappy, Prince Harry said: "This is exactly how my brother is going to be.
"All the mothers will be saying 'Don't let him near the children'."
After failing the nappy challenge he added: "It is amazing how you really appreciate what you have got."
On his way out of Bradbury House he officially opened the new building and was the first person to sign the guest book.
He said: "I very much admire Headway and the vital work that it does.
"Today's short visit has given me a real understanding after talking to the guys here.
"It has made me realise what an impact brain injury has, not just on those affected but also on their families."
Prince Harry has followed in his mother's footsteps as Diana, Princess of Wales, was the royal patron of the charity between 1991 and 1996.
Headway special ambassador Johnson Beharry VC said: "It is good to see him supporting the charity that his mother was a patron for.
"Now Harry has been I am hoping that he will return in the future and keep showing his support."
Prince Harry was wearing a poppy to commemorate Anzac Day – the day of remembrance for the armed forces of Australia and New Zealand who have died serving their country.
