Before today’s meeting, a person from Élysée told Reuters: “They are friends and trust each other, and they have talked a lot, especially in the last year. ”
They saw each other for the last time in May when Macron went to London for the King’s Coronation. Last year, Macron gave him a book filled with pictures that celebrated Queen Elizabeth II‘s trips to France.
The two of them met before because of their shared interest in the environment. In 2020, when Prince Charles was still the prince, he invited Macron to an event celebrating the 80th anniversary of General de Gaulle’s Appeal. During that event, they had a long conversation about environmental issues, and many people talked about it.
The next year, at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, the King and Macron organized a team of people to work on environmental issues together.
