Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment, attended a service at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer earlier in the day where he paid tribute to the “remarkable wartime generation.”
In one of the most significant moments as the Prince of Wales, William stepped in for his father to join world leaders including President Joe Biden , French President Emmanuel Macron , and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Normandy for the finale of the 80th anniversary of the historic D-Day landings. During the visit, Prince William also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose country is at war with Russia.
He has attended the most important parts of the two-day-long occasion, delivering moving speeches and meeting veterans. However, on Thursday afternoon it fell to Prince William to stand in for his father — something he had done last December when he attended the funeral of the Emir of Kuwait. On Thursday, William showed off his leadership and diplomatic skills and praised the bravery of the veterans who fought on D-Day.
