King Charles Travels Overseas For The First Time Since Announcing Cancer Diagnosis

Buy Me A Coffee

King Charles III has finally emerged from his royal cocoon to make his first overseas trip since his cancer diagnosis! And where did His Highness decide to flex his regal muscles? At the 80th anniversary of World War II’s D-Day landings in France, of course, on a delightful Thursday, June 6.

Looking dapper at 75, King Chuck dazzled the crowd by speaking in French (Ooh la la!) to the Allied soldiers who gave Hitler the ol’ heave-ho back in ’44. “How lucky we all are, especially the free world, that a bunch of brave folks in the UK and other Allied nations didn’t chicken out when the chips were down,” he proclaimed, likely leaving the crowd both impressed and slightly confused about the chicken metaphor.

Of course, His Royal Majesty wasn’t alone. Accompanying him was his lovely queen, Camilla, sporting a chic white ensemble that screamed “I am fashion!” They were joined by French President Emmanuel Macron and his stylish First Lady, Brigitte, for the Normandy shindig. King Chuck, in his snazzy military attire, continued to wax poetic: โ€œOn the beaches of Normandy, the seas beyond, and the skies overhead, our troops did their duty with a hefty dose of grit and a sprinkle of determination.โ€

During the ceremony, Chuck paid tribute to those who “never came home,” adding that “our gratitude is bigger than a royal banquet and our admiration shinier than the crown jewels.”

Not to be outdone, Prince William was also in the area, hanging out at Juno Beach with Canada’s own Justin Trudeau. They were there to give a big Canadian “thank you” to the soldiers of D-Day. Willie, ever the charmer, said, โ€œWe still honor every Canadian who gave their all, and every Canadian family who lost someone dear. Thank you for our freedom.โ€ Then he flexed his bilingual muscles by repeating it in French: โ€œMerci pour votre service.โ€

This heartwarming reunion came just three months after King Chuck’s cancer diagnosis. He expressed his deepest thanks for all the “get well soon” messages, saying, โ€œAs anyone who’s faced the big C knows, kind words are like a warm hug from a corgi on a cold day.โ€

And just to keep things interesting, the royal gang announced they won’t be attending any public shindigs due to the upcoming general election on July 4. Buckingham Palace released a statement on May 22 saying, โ€œFollowing Prime Minister Rishi Sunakโ€™s election call, the royal fam will be laying low to avoid stealing the spotlight from the political drama… Apologies to anyone bummed out by this royal no-show.โ€
