00:00 King Charles and Camilla visited France recently but only stayed for a few days after dining
00:06 with French President Emmanuel Macron.
00:09 During this time, William and Kate kept a low profile and did not attend important public
00:14 events.
00:16 According to People, this is most likely a planned schedule, given that Buckingham Palace
00:21 wants most of the attention drawn towards Charles while he is overseas.
00:25 Originally, the pair had planned to visit France six months earlier but could not given
00:30 that there were riots and protests.
00:33 Even after rescheduling, William and Kate's plans remained in a fashion that did not clash
00:38 with the King's visit.
00:40 We will, however, say that when the King is overseas for a period longer than a week,
00:45 the rest of the royals do continue their public activities.
00:50 This is solely with the purpose of focusing on King Charles' work in France.
00:55 Another important thing to note is that Prince William is one of the King's counsellors
00:59 of state, those who may act on behalf of the King.
01:03 He is next in line to the throne, making him the first counsellor to be consulted if an
01:07 action were needed, and therefore, stays in the UK until his father returns.
