Prince Harry was unharmed after an attack on the Camp Bastion military compound in Afghanistan in which two US Marines were killed and several more wounded.
Harry, an Army captain, is based at the compound in Helmand province in the south of Afghanistan for his second tour of duty.
US officials said the attack last night was by heavily-armed insurgents and involved a range of weaponry, including mortars, rockets or rocket-propelled grenades, as well as small arms fire.
Harry was about two kilometres away with other crew members of the Apache attack helicopters, of which he is a co-pilot gunner, when the attack took place, sources said.
There are no indications of any British fatalities or injuries.
A spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force coalition (Isaf) in Afghanistan said the attack occurred near an airfield on the north-east side of the base, which houses American forces in Camp Leatherneck.
