US: Prince William will meet with Donald Trump in Paris today, will attend the inauguration
US: Today, Prince William and Donald Trump will meet in Paris when both are at the reopening of the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
To commemorate the major renovation of the famous cathedral, which was devastated in a devastating fire in April 2019, the prince and the US president-elect are both in Paris, France.
In addition to representing the United Kingdom at the occasion, Kensington Palace has revealed that the Prince of Wales will meet with US First Lady Jill Biden and Donald Trump.
As the former president gets ready to take office again on January 20, Prince William and Donald Trump are anticipated to talk about the significance of the “special relationship” between the US and the UK.
The two had previously met, most notably at the state dinner hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II for President Trump in June 2019 at Buckingham Palace. Trump has a reputation for being less friendly with William’s brother, Prince Harry. Since the royal and his wife, Meghan Markle, left the royal family in 2020, Trump has often attacked the couple.
William’s encounter comes as Sir Keir Starmer’s new Labour administration in the UK is eager to maintain good relations with Donald Trump, who seems intent on enacting additional tariffs when he returns to power.
Heads of state from all over the globe are expected to attend a special ceremony that President Macron and the Archbishop of Paris are holding at the Notre-Dame Cathedral to commemorate the building’s reopening to the public this weekend.
Donald Trump is making his first foreign appearance since defeating Kamala Harris in the November presidential election. He is expected to meet with other global leaders during the trip, who are eager to get to know the president-elect before he takes office again. Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, is also anticipated to attend in an attempt to maintain Trump’s support in his fight against Russia.
On Friday evening, Prince William, his wife Catherine, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, went to a ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London.
The Princess of Wales hosted the ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service for the fourth year in a row, and it was one of her first significant public appearances since she returned to the spotlight after her cancer treatment.
In an interview with British pop diva Paloma Faith, she said, “I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I just had.”
