They are finally here! After a first state visit aborted due to demonstrations on the sidelines of pension reform, Charles III and Camilla Parker Bowles were finally able to go to France. They landed this Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at Orly before joining Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
These “reunions” aroused strong reactions, in particular because of the rules “transgressed” by the French Head of State and his partner. Brigitte Macron did not in fact curtsy to the Queen Consort, while the President of the French Republic “allowed himself” to place his hand on the back of Charles III. However, as our colleagues from the BBC and of Release, “we don’t touch the king”. Fortunately, this does not seem to have damaged the relationship between the two leaders.

Bertrand Deckers back against Stéphane Bern?
This did not prevent them from going to the Palace of Versailles for a gala dinner, to which many personalities were invited. Charlotte Gainsbourg, Didier Drogba, Arsène Wenger, Hugh Grant, and even Patrick Vieira were present. French royalty was also represented, as Stéphane Bern was also invited, even if this was obviously not unanimous.
The proof is the reaction of Bertrand Deckers, specialist in royalty, who officiates at Cyril Hanouna on TPMP. The specialist of crowned heads of C8 was only allowed to “sit” in front of the castle gates. “There was a standoff between Buckingham Palace and the Élysée Palace. There were only 60 invitations to hand out. Only one well-known royal journalist will be at King Cyril’s table”confided Bertrand Deckers to the host, who tried to find out who the lucky one had been. “His name is Stéphane something… It will be Stéphane Bern, obviously for France Télévisions”finally released the specialist in royalty from TPMP, visibly very frustrated while giving the name. “You’ve got it!” the PAF troublemaker then joked, who then faced a wall.
