King Charles III has organised a lavish welcome for the French President, Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron at Windsor Castle.
On Tuesday, July 8, the 76-year-old British monarch hosted a special evening for the arrival of his royal guests after a decade in the United Kingdom.
A few moments before hosting His Majesty’s royal guests, the Royal Family turned to its official Instagram handle to share the exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the preparations for the esteemed event.
The shared video clip showed Their Majesties personally visiting the State Banquet at St George’s Hall, before welcoming their royal guests at Windsor Castle.
King Charles gave special instructions to his royal staff to organise the dining table alongside the customised names of their guests.
"Final preparations are taking place ahead of this evening’s State Banquet in St George’s Hall, Windsor Castle," they stated in the caption.
