Rock and royal! Mick Jagger will join King Charles and Queen Camilla at Versailles state banquet tonight along with Hugh Grant and Bernard Arnault – the richest man in the world

The VIP guest list for tonight’s state banquet at Versailles includes Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and French multi-billionaire Bernard Arnault, the world’s richest man.

Organizers invited numerous celebrities to eat and drink with King Charles and Queen Camilla in the sumptuous Hall of Mirrors, a space designed to reflect the omnipotence of the Sun King, Louis XIV.

Rock royalty Mr Jagger, 80, will come from his own stately home – the Château de Fourchette (Maison de la Fourchette) in the department of Indre-et-Loire – for the evening.

Business tycoon Mr. Arnault, 74, owns luxury homes in Paris and Bordeaux and heads luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, which includes brands like Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior.

Rich lists regularly place him at number 1, with his fortune estimated by Forbes at £178 billion. In 2012, he was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire “for services to business” by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The red carpet is rolled out for the arrival of King Charles and Queen Camilla in Paris

Among the Franco-British actors, among the 150 guests are Charlotte Gainsbourg, 52, and Emma Mackey, 27, from the Netflix series “Sex Education”.

Actor Hugh Grant, 63, who owns a house in France, will also be present. The 90s heartthrob previously joked that he was only truly happy in France.

Sports figures invited include former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, 73, and midfield ace Patrick Vieira, 47, as well as former Chelsea and Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba, 45 years old.

Glamorous diners can expect the best in French cuisine, with Michelin-starred chefs Yannick Alléno, Anne-Sophie Pic and Pierre Hermé helming the menu, which was expected to receive royal approval.

Chefs were banned from serving foie gras, a French specialty that Charles avoided on animal welfare grounds, with the king apparently providing a strict list of culinary requirements for the meal.

Many mushrooms, however, will be served to the king and queen, who are favorites because they “remind them of the late Queen Elizabeth II”, a French government source said.

President Emmanuel Macron is expected to host a lavish state banquet in Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors to mark the arrival of the king and queen.

The dinner will serve as a welcome for the British monarch as his three-day state visit to France begins today.

The King and Queen were greeted with a red carpet as they landed in Paris this afternoon.

The highly anticipated trip was postponed due to widespread riots in April that engulfed the French capital and cities.

For their first visit to the country as king and queen, Charles, 76, and Camilla, 74, will split their time between Paris and Bordeaux.

In addition to tonight’s star-studded dinner, Charles and Camilla have 21 high-profile engagements to look forward to in just three days.

The most important element of Charles’ itinerary will probably be his will address the French Senate, the first by a member of the British royal family, in which he will speak in English and French.

The couples will then meet a number of community sporting groups and sports stars as France hosts the Rugby World Cup and prepares to host the Olympics next year.

Following their trip to Bordeaux, the King and Queen will meet with rescue workers and communities affected by the 2022 Bordeaux wildfires, highlighting how to combat climate change.

While in the region, the King will also meet British and French military personnel and attend a MAJOR campaign during which British and French companies will be showcased.

To end their action-packed tour, they will visit an organic vineyard before returning to Scotland where they spent the summer.
