The royal dad, who served 10 years in the Army, acknowledged how tough it is for serving parents to be away.
“It’s unbelievably hard. I have so much respect and admiration for anyone who has to deal with that,” the prince said. “I can’t imagine what it’s like to miss so much as they change so quickly.”
