Prince William will partake in 80th-anniversary events in the UK and France, commemorating the 1944 invasion that initiated the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.
King Charles, recently diagnosed with cancer, will attend ceremonies in Portsmouth and at the British Normandy Memorial in France, while
Prince William will join an international ceremony with over 25 heads of state.
The dwindling number of Normandy veterans, including 23 traveling to Normandy and 21 attending an event in Staffordshire, highlights the historical significance and the poignant nature of these upcoming commemorations.
