Charles and Camilla leaving STORYLINE: King Charles III and Queen Camilla paid a visit to the fire-damaged Notre Dame cathedral on Thursday during the second day of their state visit to France. The royals, accompanied by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, paid much attention to a presentation about ongoing renovation work at Notre Dame, one day after the king said he had been “utterly appalled by the scenes of such devastation following the catastrophic fire” in April 2019. Charles and Camilla were not able to enter the cathedral for safety reasons, but Macron invited them to take a closer look at the entrance as dozens of workers on the higher floors of the monument applauded the king and took pictures. The cathedral is due to reopen at the end of next year. Charles and Macron will later attend a reception for British and French business leaders about financing climate-related and biodiversity projects. The king will end his trip on Friday with a stop in Bordeaux, the southwestern city that is home to a large British community. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
