June 5 marked the beginning of the 80th anniversary of D-Day commemorations, bringing together dignitaries from both sides of the Strait. In England, in Portsmouth, Prince William spoke with his father King Charles. This speech, reported by The Sun, was especially touching because William spoke about the health condition of his wife, Catherine, who is currently facing many difficulties. Charles, along with Queen Camilla, opened the memorial service.
His presence was marked by deeply moving moments, especially when a veteran shared a touching story. The king and queen, clearly emotional, were photographed in tears. In his speech, Prince William wanted to reassure the public about Catherine's health. He said his wife was doing better and he would love to be there on this memorable day.
These words brought some comfort to Britons worried about their future queen, who has been absent from public view for six months. After his speech, Prince William spoke to guests, including the former Bletchley Park codebreaker. Speaking of personal relationships, he mentioned that Catherine's grandmother also worked to decode Enigma during the war, a discovery that Catherine did not make until the end of her grandmother's life.
Initially, the Kensington team announced that Catherine would resume royal engagements after Easter, possibly in June during the Trooping the Color festival. However, recent reports indicate that his return could be delayed until the fall. One source even suggested that Catherine is re-evaluating her future responsibilities and may never fully return to her old role.
Catherine's condition remains a major concern and her future in public life remains uncertain. Even so, William's reassuring words and gestures of support from the royal family showed solidarity in the face of adversity. Meanwhile, the British continue to support their princess, waiting for her to fully recover and be able to return to royal activities, even if this means a slowdown.
