According to reports, Prince Harry is in training at at the British Army Training Unit Suffield, about 100 miles southeast of Calgary to prepare for possible deployment to Afghanistan after having flown to Canada from Heathrow on Wednesday. Unlike his previous plan to serve in Basra, a posting in the turbulent southern province of Helmand would be harder for Taliban rebels to determine his location.It's in Alberta where the Prince is expected to practice "fire and manoeuvre" operations at Suffield, the largest training area available for British armoured vehicles, according to the Sunday Mirror.
"All the armoured live firing training is done at Suffield. It points towards a posting in Helmand. That kind of role is less in demand now in Iraq," a military source told the tabloid.
The British Army's website says: "This area is one of the largest our army trains on and it provides a highly realistic environment."
I do wish the paparazzi would leave him alone.
ReplyDeleteand, who cares? Not many.
ReplyDeletePoor Prince Harry...posted to Suffield. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy!
ReplyDeleteAn Afghanistan posting may be the ideal compromise: he gets to fight for Queen and country with less danger of his being specifically targeted or kidnapped.

Channel 4 has said it will defy Clarence House and a personal appeal by princes William and Harry to broadcast graphic photos of the crash that killed their mother from a controversial documentary due to transmit tomorrow entitled "Diana: The Witnesses in the Tunnel."
Absolute scum.
What shits.
