The context of demonstrations could have consequences on the state visit of King Charles III, Monday, March 23. The big dinner that was to be organized at Versailles could thus be moved for fear of possible disruptions.
Monday, March 27, King Charles III is to be received with great pomp at the Palace of Versailles for a dinner, preceded by a concert in the royal chapel. But will the tense social climate turn everything upside down? Demonstrations against the pension reform would lead the authorities to consider moving the reception. Thursday March 23, the Versaillese are divided. “I will be very disappointed because I would like to see it“, says a resident.
Safety first
The Palace of Versailles is a diplomatic tool prized by Presidents. But for Richard Fitzwilliams, an expert on the British monarchy, safety comes first. “Buckingham Palace is watching this closely. It is possible that part of the program will be modified. I think it would be disastrous for President Macron’s image if an incident happened“, explains the specialist. Charles III must also go to Bordeaux, Tuesday, March 28. Only, trade unionists threaten to undermine his travels. National furniture unionists say they refuse to take out the red carpet for the king. Contacted, the management ensures that the red carpet is already ready.
