King Charles drops major hint if he will be on Normandy beaches for 80th anniversary of D-Day amid battle against cancer

The King has given his clearest indication yet that he will be on the beaches of Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

He assumed patronage of the late Queen’s Royal British Legion before next month celebrations.

Buckingham Palace revealed last night that Charles will take over more than 300 of his patronages and charities.

It brings the number of affiliates to the King to 669 – including the Legion, which had its mother at its head for more than 70 years.

Sources say it is “the clearest indication” that he will be in Normandy despite his battle with cancer.

The Legion is organizing D-Day events in France and Portsmouth.

Charles is still undergoing cancer treatment but is now expected to be fit to travel across the English Channel for the occasion.

He is due to stand alongside French President Emmanuel Macron at the British Normandy Memorial on June 6.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson declined to comment.
