The King will travel to France after he returned to public duties following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
Prince William will join the King and Queen as they travel to Normandy to attend ceremonies to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, Buckingham Palace has said. The monarch and his wife will join the Ministry of Defence and Royal British Legion's commemorative event at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer on 6 June. Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales will attend the Canadian ceremony at Juno Beach Centre at Courseulles-sur-Mer.
Before the royals set off for France, they will attend the UK's national commemorative event in Portsmouth on 5 June. Other members of the Royal Family will attend events marking the anniversary over the two dates. The announcement follows a number of official appearances the King has made since his return to public duties. This week he visited Middle Wallop airbase in Hampshire to hand over a role with the Army Air Corps to the Prince of Wales.
