The young royal is used to living the high life but is set for a massive shock on his next military camp in America's wild west. Welcome to Gila Bend which has as many crustaceans as available women. The town is deep in America's Arizona desert - where many famous Westerns have been filmed - and on it's welcome sign boasts a population of just 1,700 and 'five old crabs'. Harry is set to stay at the grim location as part of a 12 week RAF course training him to fly Apache helicopters. After two lavish summer holidays - in plush Hvar, Croatia and at a luxury villa in Majorca - Harry's next trip will be more sandy than swanky. The United States Air Force Base is basic with just a runway, an air-traffic control tower, a few tents and a couple of buildings - and giant cactus's growing inside. Facilities are so sparse that most RAF pilots on the course - 'Exercise Crimson Eagle' - stay in the town. But it's top hotel costs just £60-per-night, there are few women Harry's age and no Champagne available anywhere. Many of the few locals also have no idea who he is. music by Incompetech.com
