King Charles and Prince William plan their first trip abroad since cancer treatment
On my first trip abroad since his February announcement that he was undergoing cancer treatment, King Charles III will travel to France to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, as well Prince William And Queen Camilla.
Charles has long been a fixture in the June 6 events in Normandy and the United Kingdom, which annually mark the coordinated air and sea landings that led to the liberation of France and the eventual end The War II. It’s unclear whether he will participate in person this year, given his recent diagnosis and subsequent suspension of royal duties.
That pause ended last monthwhen King Charles and Queen Camilla visit the Macmillan Cancer Center at University College Hospital to meet with patients and staff. On Friday, Buckingham Palace announced that his schedule would begin in June, with a series of events to mark the biggest seaborne invasion in history.
The celebrations begin on June 5, when Charles, Camilla and Prince William will attend a ceremony at Southsea Common in the British city of Portsmouth, one of the main launching points for D-Day troops in 2015. 1944. Theo to the BBCThat event will include “a light show, readings and music.”
From there, Charles and Camilla will travel to France, where they will visit Britain’s Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer on June 6, Reported by Sky News. Along with officials from the Ministry of Defense and the Royal British Legion, 23 surviving D-Day veterans are expected to attend.
