King Charles' state visit to France, from Wednesday to Friday, may be seen politically as a chance to rebuild ties between the two countries, but some Parisians said they were not impressed, and that they missed the glamour of late Queen Elizabeth.
Britain, France seek to rebuild ties tested by Brexit
The 74-year-old king, and his wife Queen Camilla, will be guests of honour at a state banquet in the gilded Versailles palace, wherewill feature blue lobster, Bresse French poultry, and a selection of French and English cheeses. His wife is "not so enchanting, she's a bit dull with her discourse. All this combined together doesn't create much interest," said the 88-year old, who liked Queen Elizabeth and her horses.
The trip is also a chance to rebuild ties that have been frayed by Britain's chaotic exit from the EU in 2020.
