Prince Albert is a brand of pipe tobacco sold by John Middleton, Inc. The brand gained widespread recognition, perhaps infamously, due to the classic crank call, where the caller asks if the store has 'Prince Albert in a can' and when the unexpecting clerk responds 'yes', the caller follows up with 'you better let him out!' Despite this negative publicity, Prince Albert is one of the more popular independent brands of tobacco in the US. More recently, it has also become available in the form of pipe-tobacco cigars.(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Though there is a history of princes of Monaco abdicating, and Prince Rainier has spoken of doing so, an abdication is not expected to take place unless and until Prince Albert has married. His elder sister, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Princess of Hanover, presently is third in line to the throne.
He competed in the Bobsled at the 1988, 1992, 1994, 1998, and 2002 Winter Olympics.

Prince Albert is the third largest city (after Saskatoon and Regina) in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Its population as of 2001 is 34,291. It is situated more-or-less in the center of the province on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River. The city is known as the "Gateway to the North" due to its being the most northerly major centre as well to its being situated where the agricultural prairie of the south meets the forested and lakeland areas of the north.Prince Albert's primary industries are mining, forestry and agriculture. A pulp and paper mill is one of its major employers. A maximum-security penitentiary also exists to the west of the city.
The settlement was founded in 1886 and incorporated as the city of Prince Albert in 1904, named after Prince Albert Victor, son of the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII). Its government is of a council-mayor type.
