King Charles's Diplomatic Charm Unites France and UK

King Charles III's state visit to Paris lacked the grandeur and public enthusiasm of previous royal visits, with few Parisians turning out to welcome him. While the French media found a few devoted fans of the Windsors, the general public seemed indifferent. However, the visit was still deemed important and successful, as it showcased the enduring value of the British monarchy in diplomatic relations. In the French Senate, the royal presence commanded awe and created an emotive atmosphere, despite a handful of Communist senators boycotting the event.
