Britain's Prince Charles worries about the safety of Prince Harry every night.

The future king's youngest son is currently serving on the frontline in Afghanistan and he admits Harry is never far from his mind, but knows the 28-year-old prince is doing a great job.

He said: 'If you are a parent or relation to a loved one and that person is away in these incredibly dangerous and challenging circumstances, I know you worry all the time.

'Certainly every night I worry. But he [Prince Harry] loves doing what he's doing and he's brilliant at it.'

Charles says having Harry serve in a war-torn country means he has some understanding with those who have lost loved ones while fighting on the frontline.

He told UK TV show 'This Morning': 'I constantly meet the families of those who have lost their sons, husbands, brothers or sisters... and I have some understanding at least of what they go through.'

Harry has been in Afghanistan since October and spent Christmas Day (25.12.12) serving dinner to his troops.
