Uroczysta kolacja w Wersalu jest jednym z najważniejszych punktów wizyty brytyjskiego króla we Francji. W 1957 r. w tej samej wystawnej scenerii podejmowano także matkę króla, Elżbietę II. „Król jest wyczulony na ideę podążania śladami swojej matki” – podkreślał Pałac Elizejski.
Goście degustowali wyrafinowane menu serwowane na porcelanie z Sevres na stole o długości 62 metrów. W menu przygotowywanym przez najlepszych szefów kuchni były m.in. niebieski homar, kraby z welonem ze świeżych migdałów i mięty, drób Bresse z kukurydzą z zapiekanką z borowików, ser z Maison Antony; trzydziestomiesięczny Comte, sery kozie oraz brytyjski stichelton. Na deser – makaroniki różane Ispahan, do których podano sorbet z lichi.
Dziennik „Le Figaro” podał, że francuskie wina i szampany były podawana w kryształowych kieliszkach Baccarat, m.in. szampan Pol Roger cuvee Winston Churchill 2013, Batard Montrachet grand cru 2018 z posiadłości Oliviera Leflaive oraz Chateau Mouton Rothschild rocznik 2004, którego etykietę butelki zdobi akwarela stworzona przez samego króla Karola, gdy był jeszcze księciem Walii.
