King Charles made his most important speech in public after being diagnosed with cancer.

King Charles expressed profound admiration for the participants of the D-Day invasion, commending them for their courageous efforts in replacing oppression with liberty.

The King expressed his never-ending gratitude towards them during an event marking their 80th anniversary.

He was giving a speech in Portsmouth, which was one of the significant locations where the Normandy landings began in June 1944.

The monarch praised the bravery, toughness, and unity of individuals who participated in D-Day. Unfortunately, their population is getting smaller by the day.

The monarch, accompanied by his spouse and eldest son, gave a speech at a nationwide event honoring the anniversary of D-Day. The ceremony took place on Southsea Common.

The audience held up British flags that mirrored the hues of the smoke created by The Red Arrows during their flyover, resulting in a vast expanse of red, white and blue.

The crowd stood up as the veterans got up to deliver their speeches.

During his most notable public address since being diagnosed with cancer, King Charles praised the "most magnificent sea and land operation in history" and recognized the bravery of those who "may have doubted their survival".

The ruler expressed that their endeavors to bring an end to harsh authoritarianism should always be remembered.

He urged the current generation to pay respect to those who have passed away by acting in a manner that aligns with the freedom they sacrificed for. This can be done by balancing our rights with civic duties.

Around 80 years ago, Portsmouth served as one of the departure points on the southern coast. It was from here that the Allied forces made their way across the Channel to free France and other Western European nations from the grips of Nazi control.

During the memorial gathering, individuals who participated in the D-Day operations shared their experiences. Among them was Roy Hayward, who at 19 years old, arrived on the beaches of Normandy on 6th June 1944.

According to Mr. Hayward, he aims to honor individuals who have fought to establish and maintain democracy, and make sure that their legacy is never disregarded.

Prince William gave a heart-wrenching presentation of a passage from Captain Alastair Bannerman's diary. In the diary, Captain Bannerman reminisces about his loved ones as he makes his way towards the French coast on the day of the historical D-Day invasion.

The King had a meeting with a Normandy landings veteran named Jim Miller last week. When he was just 20 years old, Jim had landed at Juno Beach.

The monarch extended an invitation to Mr Miller to visit Buckingham Palace where he was presented with his 100th birthday card in person.

Afterwards, Mr Miller stated that he felt honored to have such a sizable audience, especially when he reflects on the sacrifices made by the fallen soldiers on the beaches of Normandy so long ago. This has humbled him.

The Duke of Cambridge participated in a reading during the commemoration of the event known as D-Day in Portsmouth.

On Thursday, the King is scheduled to attend a remembrance ceremony at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, France. This will be the first time he travels internationally since being diagnosed with cancer.

Prince William is scheduled to attend a global event that will have over 25 leaders from different parts of the world.
