Less than two weeks after the accession to the throne of the new king, and Charles is already successfully weaving his network of international relations. He, or rather, his wife, Queen consort Camilla Parker Bowles, who struck extraordinary harmony with French Prime Dame Brigitte Macron.. We saw this very well last Sunday, when, at a gala dinner at Buckingham Palace, on the eve of Elizabeth’s funeral, the two women entertained themselves with conversation at ease and at ease, like two old friends. Between them “there was no need for long speeches” to understand that they were made for each other, Stefan Bern told in the Paris Match columns, showing how “the empathy between the two women was immediate.”
According to the royal expert, the first lady of France would also appreciate the “very strong bond” between the king and his wife.: “Them [Carlo III e Camilla] they laugh at the same things, they are always on the same wavelength. “A complicity that would have struck the wife of the President of France, who, on the other hand, is no less close to her Emmanuel Macron. The one at Buckingham Palace, however, was not the first meeting between Camilla and Bridget, who already in 2020 had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge, although not in person. Two years ago, in fact, the President of France went on a visit to the United Kingdom for the first time since the outbreak of the coronavirus to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the call for a “free France” sounded from the microphones of the BBC on June 18, 1940 by General Charles de Gaulle from London under the protection of the Churchill government against the German occupation. and the collaborationism of the regime of Marshal Philippe Pétain.
At that meeting, which was attended by then Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Prince Charles, instead of her mother, Brigitte Macron was also supposed to take part in person, but due to a medical operation, the Prime Lady was forced to withdraw. invitation and refuse to leave. As it turned out later, Macron’s wife personally called Camille to apologize and explain the reasons for her absence. A care which the Duchess of Cornwall greatly appreciated and which would have marked the beginning of a great friendship. In fact, it seems that the two women have been chatting for more than an hour, like two old acquaintances. The connection, which is greater today than ever, will certainly also benefit the English crown.
