The Duke of Cambridge Prince William and his wife Princess Kate Middleton will be paying a two-day visit to Assam starting Apr. 12, 2016, Economic times reported on Monday.
Assam's Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has made sure with the Chief Secretary to take all precautions and steps so that the Britain's Royal couple could back to their home country with the fondest of memories throughout their visit in the North eastern India. Gogoi also wished that Assam's historical connection with the British people through its oil and tea industry would be showcased during Prince William and Princess Kate's visit to the rhino habitat which is the Kaziranga National Park (KNP).
Meanwhile, Times of India reported that the Royal couple have been refused a room at a luxury hotel in France. Prince Harry himself said that it would be "unethical" to cancel existing reservations just to make way for them.
Le Hotel Marotte in Amiens stated that they would not be able to accommodate more guests as they represent Britain to the centenary of the Battle of the Somme in France because they were already "booked solid". The Royal Family have requested four suites for two nights between 30 June and 1 July at the only five-star hotel near the battle fields, French newspaper Courrier Picard reported.
Oliver Walti, the manager of the said hotel, told the paper that they were contacted by the French Foreign Ministry about the Royal Family's request, but were not able to accept the offer. "The Foreign Ministry has contacted us in January to see if we were able to accommodate the Royal Family on the occasion of the Somme commemorations. We had to decline the offer, it is impossible, we are already booked solid. We could not tell people who have booked with us for months and who have already paid for their stay, sorry, but the Royal Family is coming, we will have to cancel. It's just unthinkable ethically, Walti said.
