Prince William to Chase Drug Smugglers

Posted May 7, 08 4:25 PM CDT in World 

(Newser) – Prince William will soon be chasing cocaine smugglers in the Caribbean while he serves a temporary stint with the Royal Navy, the Daily Mirror reports. Military brass say Britain's possible future king needs experience as an officer with all the services, though officials ruled out sending him to Iraq or Afghanistan because he'd be too much of a target.

"The Caribbean on a Royal Navy warship is an ideal tour as it has operational potential and it works diplomatically," says a senior military source.
