King Charles III of England and Queen Consort Camilla will soon be on an official visit to France. During the broadcast Do not touch My TV broadcast on C8 Thursday September 14, 2023, columnist Bertrand Deckers, Crown specialist, provided information concerning the royal couple’s trip. Thus, we learn that the new king is coming to France for the first time since his coronation, in order to “officially seal the friendship between France and England” for a period of two and a half days. “It arrives Wednesday September 20, 2023 early afternoon by Eurostar at Gare du Nord normally, even if it’s not official yet, because it’s ecological. We know that he likes ecology, he defends that so it’s better than flying in the end.” explains the Belgian. Parisians should expect this “than the Gare du Nord district” either at that moment “monopolized, almost impractical”. After his arrival,“head to the Champs-Elysées to lay a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier”. The journalist subsequently specifies that the couple will be seriously supervised.“They will be accompanied by a staff of around ten people such as his private secretary, Sir Clive Alderton” but also “his head of the press office”, the steward of the royal household, a personal valet and a British Navy surgeon.

We also learn during this sequence that Charles III will have at his side “his osteopath and his pillow. He is very difficult because he sleeps very difficult.” And for good reason,“he fell off a lot of horses, he played polo so he has lower back problems”. Note that the king will also take away “his personal toilet seat”, from which he never separates. This entire system is currently being put in place to guarantee the smooth running of this state trip. “All of this is being transported to the hotel he is going to occupy, namely the British embassy on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. He is therefore the neighbor of Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron since the Elysée Palace is at 55 and the British Embassy is at 39″, concludes the columnist. As a reminder, Charles III was due to go to France for his first official visit from March 26 to 29, 2023, but due to the numerous strikes and demonstrations for pension reform, it was canceled to avoid any excess.
