Charles III will travel to France from March 26 to 29, for the first state visit of the British sovereign, the Elysée announced on Friday, which sees it as an illustration of "the depth of historical ties" between the two countries.
This visit, "an honor done to France", "also symbolizes the relationship of friendship and trust between" Emmanuel Macron and Charles III, argued the French presidency.
Mr. Macron will preside over a state dinner at the Château de Versailles on March 27, in honor of Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla.
"It is with great pleasure that we will welcome King Charles and his wife Camilla at the end of March for a State visit. I appreciate this State visit all the more as the King has decided to come to us, in Germany, even before his coronation", on May 6, wrote German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a press release.
