King Charles set for banquet at Palace of Versailles as French strikers recall 1789
King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to pay an official visit to France as the country is gripped by mass protests at President Macron’s attempt to push through an increase in the State pension age.
Part of the King’s itinerary is a banquet at the Palace of Versailles with Macron. The Palace was at the centre of the French Revolution in 1789, a symbol of Royal excess.
Given that the first King Charles met an unfortunate end in Whitehall on 30th January 1649 one think the third King Charles would want to avoid any historical parallels.
