Was The Duke also at the Vimy rededication?

Queen and Prince Philip to mark Romsey's 400th anniversary

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip will pay a Royal visit to Romsey this summer to mark the 400th anniversary of the town's Royal Charter.
The royal couple will visit Romsey for the first time in four years to celebrate the moment King James I handed the town its Royal Charter in 1607, giving the community independence.
The charter effectively put the town on the map and meant civic officials could appoint their own mayor, aldermen and police officers.

The Queen was amused
by BRIAN LAGHI, The Globe and Mail

The Queen was amused

former prime minister Jean Chrétien said yesterday that he had just been given a pen by then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau with which he was to sign the document. As he sat down to affix his signature, Mr. Chrétien, then justice minister, found the pen wouldn't write, prompting him to utter, in French, a profanity that caused the royal chuckle.
...
"I said merde and the Queen laughed. She's perfectly bilingual and she understood very well what I said.
