During his speech, His Majesty made a particularly warm reference to his eldest son and daughter-in-law's family life at Windsor. The tribute came as part of the King's opening remarks celebrating the deep friendship between Britain and France.
The King praised William's choice to establish his family home at Windsor, drawing a historical parallel to the castle's origins. "The Castle in which we meet this evening was begun by my ancestor - and your sometime countryman - William, Duke of Normandy, in the year 1070," King Charles told President Macron.
"It remains the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world.
"So it is perhaps rather appropriate that my son, The Prince of Wales, who shares that earlier William's name, has made Windsor his home with his family, like so many of our predecessors."
