Attending the event without Princess Kate, the Prince of Wales joined King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with other leaders, to honor war heroes at a moving anniversary event in Portsmouth.
During a personal conversation with one of the attendees, believed to be a Bletchley Park codebreaker, the future King remarked, "My wife’s grandmother did the same sort of thing as you." He added, "Catherine only found out at the end of her life."
According to The Sun, Valerie Middleton served as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park, contributing to breaking the Enigma code. William's mention of his wife carries significant emotional weight, particularly in light of her recent cancer diagnosis, which she disclosed via a video message in March. She is expected to remain on a break from royal duties until later this year.
The King and Queen Consort are set to depart for France to attend a ceremony at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer on June 6, where they will be joined by William after he attends the wedding of his longtime friend, the Duke of Westminster.
