The royal – who donned fatigues for the visit – was in Camp Bastion for just under 24 hours.

It was Frederik’s third time in the country and he was once again impressed by the efforts of the soldiers serving there.

“It has been a great experience again to get the opportunity to visit the Danish soldiers deployed in Afghanistan,” the Crown Prince said.

“I am, like in earlier visits, impressed with what the soldiers accomplish.”
