French Mayor requests visit by Prince Charles


The Mayor of a French village has pleaded with Britain’s Prince Charles to visit during the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Olivier Paz, the mayor of Merville in Normandy, claims he and the people of his village were under the impression that the 65-year-old royal would be visiting his town during the upcoming anniversary, but after meeting with the heir to the throne’s aides at Clarence House yesterday (21.05.14) he was told they were never on his schedule.

Speaking to The Local newspaper about his disappointment, the mayor said: "The people of Merville are very upset. We had been preparing for the visit for weeks.

"We though he was going to come so our expectations were high and then to be let down at the last minute. There was so much enthusiasm, people had been preparing their British flags. That’s why everyone is so upset."

Mayor Paz also confessed another reason he was hoping the Prince of Wales – who is currently returning from a four-day tour of Canada – would finally make a visit to his town.

He added: "We have never had a visit from a member of the Royal Family and this may be the last chance as there may be no veterans left by the time the 75th anniversary comes around."
