The Prince of Wales, Prince William, will meet President-elect Donald Trump and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden in Paris on December 7. This visit marks a significant engagement in his evolving role as a global statesman.

William will represent his father, King Charles, at the ceremony marking the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral. Prior to the event, he will hold discussions with Trump and Dr. Biden about the enduring relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

The ceremony will take place in Paris, bringing together global leaders to celebrate the remarkable rebuilding of the cathedral, which suffered devastating damage from a fire in April 2019. Prince William’s visit also echoes his role in recent commemorative ceremonies, notably the D-Day landings, where he represented his father alongside 25 world leaders and veterans.

French President Emmanuel Macron extended the invitation for William to attend Notre Dame's reopening on behalf of King Charles, who is currently undergoing treatment for a form of cancer.

In recent years, William has worked to strengthen his role as a global statesman. He has met with many world leaders during visits to the UK, including the Amir of Qatar earlier this week. His international meetings have included discussions with former President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C, and London, President Biden during a 2022 Earthshot Prize event in Boston, and Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2015. Additionally, he engaged with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a November visit to Cape Town.

William’s trip to Paris closely follows his participation in Christmas festivities, where he and Princess Kate hosted a carol service at Westminster Abbey. Their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, also joined the royal couple for this fourth annual event.

Notre Dame Cathedral, located by the River Seine, was severely damaged by a fire on April 15, 2019. Macron announced the cathedral's impressive restoration on November 29, 2024, during a televised tour. He described the reconstruction as a historic venture, highlighting the collaborative efforts involved in the project.

"This project was a human adventure of epic proportions, showcasing the dedicated work of many talented individuals," Macron stated, emphasizing the importance of the site for future generations.
