Could you say ‘non’ to the Royals?
The Royal family were turned down by a five star Hotel in France because all of the rooms were already booked.
The Hôtel Marotte’s manager Estelle Walti told 5 live she would have loved the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to stay but the hotel has been “fully booked for more than a year”.
Estelle went on to say they “treat all our guests with respect” and “didn’t think about cancelling other people’s bookings” to accommodate the request for four rooms.
The Royals are planning to attend the Battle of the Somme centenary later this year.
