MEDICINE HAT, Alta. -- There are reports that Britain's Prince Harry may be training at Canadian Forces Base Suffield in southern Alberta.
A media lockout at the base has fuelled rumours, which have resulted in dozens of calls to a local radio station.
Some people are saying they can vouch for the fact that the 22-year-old prince is in town, but won't give their names.
Harry was set to be posted to Iraq as a British army officer earlier this spring and seemed eager for the chance.
But the decision was then made that it would be too dangerous for other troops and for the prince, who British military officials say would become a prime target.
CFB Suffield, which is approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Medicine Hat and 250 kilometres southeast of Calgary, is home to a British Army Training Unit.
A spokesman for the training unit won't confirm or deny whether Harry is in Alberta.
