Charles III exemplifies the “solid friendship” between the United Kingdom and France

During a dinner at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday night, Britain’s King Emmanuel Macron and Rishi Sunak praised the renewed ties between the two countries during their March summit at the Elysee.

Carlos and Camilla began a three-day trip to France yesterday, postponed in March due to protests against pension reforms.

This Thursday, the monarch called for a new “deal” on climate change and pledged London and Paris’ “unwavering commitment” to support Ukraine. The statements were made during a speech before the French delegation, the first of its kind by a British monarch, and received a standing ovation.

Alternating between French and English, Charles III proposed that France and the United Kingdom commit to sign a “pact on sustainability” to respond “more effectively” to the “global climate and biodiversity emergency”. The reports come as the British Prime Minister has announced she will postpone several key steps in the UK’s climate policy.

King Charles III assured the French delegation that he would “do everything in my power to strengthen the indispensible relationship between the United Kingdom and France”.

Gérard Larcher, president of the French Senate, insisted that the United Kingdom’s fate was “closely linked to that of the European continent”.
