Former President François Hollande went to the British Embassy in Paris on Saturday to sign the register of condolences. “To the great friend of France, who throughout her reign ensured that the ties between our two countries were strengthened and who aroused respect and admiration among French men and women of all generations and of all sensitivities, we express our immense gratitude and share the grief of the royal family and the British people, ”he wrote, according to the text consulted by AFP journalists.
Leaving, the former French head of state also greeted Charles III, proclaimed king on Saturday, who, he thinks, “will have another way of doing things, but who also has a passion which is that of defense environment, ecology”. It “will be useful in international conferences, that we also hear the voice of the royal family, on this occasion”, when the new British Conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss has taken office.
