Celebrating D-Day with leaders of the world. - Prince William takes Charles' place at the event.
William, Prince (41), joins a significant political function. This 6th of June is when D-Day is commemorated—the anniversary marking the Allied landing in Normandy, which brought the downfall of the Hitler regime. King Charles III (75) travels alongside Queen Camilla (76) in France for the celebration. In Saint Laurent sur Mer, a crucial commemoration ceremony takes place with 25 heads of state, including Prince William, representing his father.
Attending this event are noteworthy personalities like US President Joe Biden (81), French President Emmanuel Macron (46), and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (46). Alongside the commemoration ceremony, Prince William is scheduled to join an event organized by the Canadian government at the Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles-sur-Mer. Meanwhile, King Charles III and Queen Camilla attend a ceremony in Ver-sur-Mer for the British memorial.
Charles' First Overseas Trip After Cancer Diagnosis
The recent journey to Normandy's D-Day commemoration is King Charles III's first foreign visit since his cancer diagnosis announcement in February. The 75-year-old monarch is still receiving treatment, and he's been resuming public engagements only since April 30th. During this trip to France, he'll have Prince Edward (60), his brother, and Sophie (59), his sister-in-law, along with Prince Richard (79), his second cousin to provide support.
Unfortunately, Prince William's wife, Princess Kate (42), won't be accompanying them to the celebrations. Just like her husband, the Princess is braving cancer and is undergoing a demanding chemotherapy process. She has been inactive in public life since December, and her latest appearance was during an official engagement.
