Prince William is set to meet Donald Trump and First Lady Jill Biden in Paris ahead of the event celebrating the restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral.

According to several media outlets, Prince William will join other international leaders in Paris where he will represent his father, King Charles, to celebrate the restoration of this iconic monument.

Notre-Dame, a Gothic masterpiece and one of the most loved and visited monuments in Paris, is set to reopen its doors to tourists and Catholic faithful, after extensive damage caused by a fire in 2019.

French President Emmanuel Macron invited Trump to the grand reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Trump’s visit to Paris will be his first international visit since returning to the White House in early November.

The Prince of Wales is expected to discuss the importance of the “special relationship” between the US and UK with Trump, reported Sky News.

He last met Trump in 2019 when Trump visited the United Kingdom for a state visit.

According to the rectors of the cathedral, tickets for the first week of masses sold out in just 25 minutes.

Archbishop Laurent Ulrich will lead more than 1,500 guests at the reopening service on Saturday.

This will be William’s first official visit to Paris since 2017, when he and his wife Kate Middleton took a two-day trip following the Brexit result.
