June 6 marks the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, an important historical event. This year, Prince William is expected to visit Juno and Omaha beaches in Normandy to commemorate the anniversary. However, his wife Catherine will not be able to accompany him due to reasons. For several months, Catherine stayed away from royal duties due to taking time to take care of herself. As a result, Catherine cannot attend many public events and his planned return this summer may be delayed until the fall or even the end of the year.

Although Catherine's prolonged absence worried fans, it allowed Catherine to fully focus on her work and return. During his trip to Normandy, Prince William will attend two ceremonies on Juno and Omaha beaches, where he will pay tribute to veterans and the unsung. These ceremonies are especially meaningful and mark the beginning of France and Europe.

Prince William kicked off his visit by attending a ceremony in Portsmouth on June 5. In an emotional speech, he paid tribute to veterans, making his father he, King Charles and Queen Camilla shed tears. During the ceremony in Portsmouth, Prince William took the opportunity to reassure the public about Catherine's health. He said Catherine is doing better and would love to be here today.

The reassurances were welcomed and brought some comfort to Britons worried about Princess Catherine's prolonged absence. Prince William emphasized the importance of these celebrations, recalling the courage of the silent people. He met several veterans and praised their courage and sacrifice. I am deeply honored to join you today in recognizing the courage of all those, like John Haddock.

The anniversary of the Normandy landings is a time to reflect and acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of our soldiers. Although Catherine was absent for reasons, Prince William continued to represent the royal family and pay tribute to veterans. His presence in Normandy, along with his words of comfort about Catherine's condition, showed the royal family's continued commitment to remembering those who served for freedom.
