King Charles recalls Queen Elizabeth's ties to France at state banquet in VersaillesPA
Transcript
00:00 President Pompidou hosted my mother here at the Palace of Versailles on her second state
00:06 visit in 1972. I was reminded recently that when she returned the courtesy with dinner
00:13 for the President and Madame Pompidou at the Hotel de Cherost, they ran into a little more
00:21 difficulty. Our embassy tried to bring several cases of English wine over from Hampshire
00:29 for the banquet, only to be prevented by a customs official at Orly. In those days,
00:36 there was no such thing as English wine. As Roland Topo survived, "Les Francais ont du
00:46 vin, les Anglais de l'humour."
