Beginning in particular with the Queen's speech at the Elysée Palace in April 1957, alongside President René Coty. In excellent French she then declared: "Mr. President, may the trust and mutual understanding between the French Republic and the United Kingdom continue forever."
The video then continues with footage: from Elizabeth II's first meeting with a French head of state in May 1948, Vincent Auriol, to the last with Emmanuel Macron, June 11th, 2021, in Cornwall during of the G7 summit.
