Queen Camilla and King Charles became centre of attention with their unexpected move during emotional ceremony today.
Camilla, alongside her husband King Charles and Prince William, attended the commemorations in Portsmouth. Both she and the monarch appeared visibly moved as Navy veteran Eric Bateman shared his experiences on Utah Beach during the Second World War operation.Bateman described how he and his comrades bravely leapt from boats after crossing the Channel to land on the beaches of northern France
He said: “So many men and women, including my dear friend Fred, joined up with me but unfortunately never made it.” And it left Camilla visibly overcome with Charles also dabbing his eyes.
The royals joined leading UK politicians and veterans at a major event in Portsmouth where both Charles and William addressed the crowd.
The King said: “The stories of courage, resilience and solidarity we have heard today and throughout our lives cannot fail to move us, to inspire us and to remind us of what we owe to that great wartime generation.
