Their Royal Highnesses will also be attending events in Jersey and Sark.
Bailiff Sir Richard Collas said: ‘I am delighted that Their Royal Highnesses will join islanders in marking this major milestone in the Islands’ history. It will be a day of particular importance for those who were evacuated, lived through the Occupation or were deported.’
Details of the visit will be published in due course.
