William will be joined at the service by King Frederik of Denmark, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands and King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium.

Before the service, the prince will also attend the Canadian commemorative ceremony at Juno Beach hosted by the Canadian government.

The Princess of Wales is not expected to travel to France as she continues to focus on her health amid receiving treatment for cancer.

The King and Queen will also travel to Normandy, France for events marking D-Day in what will be the monarch’s first overseas visit since his cancer diagnosis.

The couple will join the British Legion’s commemorative event at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer on June 6.

Before travelling to France, the King, Queen and Prince of Wales will attend a ceremony in Portsmouth on June 5.

The British Royal Family regularly meet with European royals for official engagements, weddings and funerals.
