Prince William's emotional tribute on 80th D‑Day anniversary

The media has recently written about the royal family, mainly regarding Kate Middleton's health issues. At the end of March, the Duchess announced that she was battling cancer and had undergone chemotherapy. Since then, the internet has been abuzz with news about her condition.

Due to Kate's indisposition, Prince William is now mostly seen solo. During his public appearances, he is regularly asked about his wife.

Recently, the royals, including the monarch's firstborn, participated in the ceremonies related to the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy. During the meetings with veterans, there was no shortage of emotions. On Wednesday, the media wrote about the tears of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, and now it turns out William also allowed himself a moment of weakness. Judging by the photos that appeared online on Thursday, while participating in the celebration organized by the Canadian government on Juno Beach, the British throne's heir was deeply moved by the whole event. At the same time, when speaking in front of the group was necessary, the 41-year-old fulfilled his duties impeccably.

Standing here today in peaceful silence, it is almost impossible to grasp the courage it would have taken to run into the fury of battle that day. The assault on D-Day remains the most ambitious military operation in history. The events of that windy, grey day ultimately led to the liberation of Europe, but it came at heavy cost, he said to those gathered.
