00:00What's on the menu? Because at these state banquets, usually it's a sort of nod to the French side, a nod to the British side.

00:08Would it be a full-on French menu? What do you expect?

00:13Well, coincidentally, Emily, the menu is always written in French.

00:18But regardless of what foreign head of state is visiting the king for a state banquet, it's always written in French.

00:23It's been that way for hundreds of years.

00:24But in terms of the cuisine, it tends to be a mixture of the two.

00:30There tends to be parts of British cuisine which are perhaps organic or grown in the Highgrove Gardens or grown in the Windsor Gardens.

00:42And of course, we will find those details out a little bit later on today.

00:49As soon as we have those details, I'll bring that straight to you.

01:44Let's not get into the conspiracy theories yet.

01:47But especially after that, perhaps, slight choice appearance of the Macrons on board that plane a couple of weeks ago.
