The post, which centered on William's visit to the Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles-sur-Mer, deeply touched followers. The Palace's message read: "They did not flag or fail. They went on to the end, they fought on the seas and oceans, they fought on the beaches and on the landing grounds. They fought in France. As we remember D-Day, we honour the soldiers who fought for our freedom on Juno Beach and on the shores of Normandy. Lest we forget."
Royal fans responded with heartfelt gratitude. One commenter wrote, "Forever grateful that they gave their lives so we could have our lives today. Thank you for honouring these amazing heroes on this important day. We will remember them." Another fan bestowed a new title upon William, saying, "Today, D-Day in Normandy, moved people a lot. Many wreaths were laid and conversations were held in Normandy. William went to the front and touched people with his speech and enchanted them with magic. That's cool William, a prince of the people!!! William is simply phenomenal!!!"
During his visit to the Juno Beach Centre, Prince William met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Second World War veterans, further solidifying his connection with those who served and sacrificed.
