On Saturday, President-elect Trump and Prince William met at the re-opening ceremony of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and later had a sit-down meeting at the British Embassy before Trump's inauguration.

At Notre Dame, Trump and William separately met with world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Jill Biden, representing the United States, was seen shaking hands and speaking with William at the ceremony.

The Duke of Cambridge was tasked to represent Britain at the event, and following the ceremony, he and Trump met at the British Embassy in Paris to discuss the relationship between the U.K. and the U.S.

The pair's first meeting since Trump's re-election occurred during his second term in 2020 when he made another state visit to the U.K.

In 2022, William met with President Biden and discussed the Earthshot Prize.
