The United Kingdom’s Prince William will attend Saturday’s re-opening of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, Kensington Palace said on Friday, December 6, but Prince William wife, Catherine, will not accompany him.
“The Prince of Wales will travel to Paris tomorrow to attend the ceremony marking the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral,” the palace said in a statement. “His Royal Highness is traveling at the request of His Majesty’s Government on behalf of the United Kingdom,” it added.
Around 50 heads of state and government are expected in the French capital for the ceremony. US President-elect Donald Trump is also to attend.
