Queen Camilla was visibly moved on Wednesday as she attended a heartfelt ceremony with King Charles, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Prince William was also present and delivered a somber speech, highlighting the bravery of the young soldiers who fought.

King Charles and Queen Camilla also took to the stage, where the monarch delivered a powerful speech of his own.
In part, His Royal Highness said: “The stories of courage, resilience and solidarity which we have heard today, and throughout our lives, cannot fail to move us, to inspire us, and to remind us of what we owe to that great wartime generation – now, tragically, dwindling to so few.
“It is our privilege to hear their testimony, but our role is not purely passive: it is our duty to ensure that we, and future generations, do not forget their service and their sacrifice in replacing tyranny with freedom.”
