King Charles III became the first British monarch to make a speech from France’s senate chamber on Thursday, praising the “indispensable relationship” between the UK and its neighbor which he said was “as firm as it has ever been.”
Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, are on a three-day state trip to France, visiting Paris and Bordeaux, concluding Friday. The tour was originally planned for March but was postponed amid widespread demonstrations over President Emmanuel Macron’s pension overhaul.
During his address, he saved some of his strongest words to rebuke Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while also urging further action to tackle the climate crisis. Charles deftly flipped between French and English throughout his address, his joke warning against “low blows” but wishing “may the best man win” as France hosts the men’s Rugby World Cup eliciting laughter from around the room.
She added that she and the French first lady shared a “deep love of literature and a passion to promote literacy.” She said both had seen firsthand how books can change lives and “bring us joy, comfort, companionship, laughter and tears, opening our eyes to others’ experiences and reminding us that we are not alone.”
