Britain's King Charles III said his country is keen to re-strengthen its friendship with France after years of turmoil caused by Brexit. The king also welcomed the French-British summit held last March at the Elysee Palace between Macron and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The banquet will include inviting more than 150 guests, including British actor Hugh Grant, rock star Mick Jagger, former Arsenal football manager Arsene Wenger, French football star Didier Drogba, as well as French billionaire Bernard Arnault.
