Britain's Prince William could be chasing Caribbean drug runners when he joins the Royal Navy for a two-month training course. The second in line to the throne may also be called on to provide humanitarian relief if a hurricane hits during his deployment in the region on the frigate HMS Iron Duke. Defense officials said that the prince, preparing for his future role as head of the armed forces, would start his Royal Navy attachment next week.
