"Exclusive: Why Kate Middleton Won't Be at D-Day Anniversary with Royals!"

"Kate Middleton Skips Overseas Trip with King Charles!"

Royal commentator Rafe Heydel-Mankoo doesn't think Kate Middleton will attend the 80th D-Day anniversary in Normandy, France. Here's why…

Only weeks after resuming his royal duties, King Charles is preparing for an overseas trip. The British monarch will visit Normandy, France, next month for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. He will participate in the events with Queen Camilla and Prince William. A royal expert has said that Kate Middleton is “unlikely” to join them as she is focusing on her health after a cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

King Charles' Normandy visit is monarch's first overseas trip since cancer diagnosis Next month's trip will be the 75-year-old monarch's first overseas trip since his unexpected cancer diagnosis. Buckingham Palace confirmed Friday that King Charles will attend the commemorative events in June. Despite Queen Camilla wanting her husband to slow down on public engagements, King Charles seems to be sticking to his usual schedule.

Royal commentator Rafe Heydel-Mankoo told GB News, “The Queen has said that if he behaved better, he'd be improving faster.” “I think she might be a bit stressed at the number of activities he's done. Just last week he went to Middle Wallop in Hampshire to an air base to hand over to Prince William, the colonel in chief of the Army Air Corps,” Heydel-Mankoo continued, adding, “He has hosted a garden party for 4000 people from the creative industries.”

Kate Middleton may not join Prince William in Normandy Although the King will be joined by his eldest son, the Princess of Wales is not expected to attend the D-Day anniversary. Recalling Kate's appearance at the annual ceremony last year, the expert said, “Last year she was there, stunning in a green dress, and we're waiting to see if she will attend this time.”

Since there has been no official confirmation on whether Kate will attend or not, Heydel-Mankoo admitted that it is “unlikely” that the Princess will. “But there's been no mention of her attending the D-Day ceremonies, although the Prince of Wales will be at the Canadian beach Juno, and also at Omaha Beach, with international heads of state, but no word of the Princess of Wales attending.” “So I think it's rather unlikely we'll see her at Trooping the Colour,” Heydel-Mankoo said.
