Lavish banquet to be attended by King Charles & French President MOVED over threats of violence
A LAVISH banquet that was planned for King Charles and Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles is set to be moved over threats of violence.
The event, which was meant to be the “highlight” of the monarch’s visit to France, will be moved to a different location as furious protests continue across the country.

An aide to the French President told the BFM news channel that widespread rioting made the engagement too risky.
President Macron’s decision to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a parliamentary vote has sparked waves of violence in France with protesters clashing with police for the past week.
The presidential source said: “The dinner between Charles III and Emmanuel Macron, planned for Monday, may not be held at Versailles, as initially planned.”
Organisers “plan to hold it somewhere else,” with the Elysée Palace in central Paris a likely replacement.
The event at Versailles was meant to be the glittering highlight of the State Visit-Charles’s first as monarch.
The King and Camilla, the Queen Consort were set to arrive at the ancient palace on Monday evening, so as to join 200 handpicked guests being hosted by Mr Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron.
A concert was to be held in the Royal Chapel, and then dinner would have been served on Duplessis porcelain plates made during the reign of Louis XV.
But demonstrators including opposition politicians have accused Mr Macron of being completely out of touch with the lives of ordinary people.
Trade unionists and other protesters have already pledged to disrupt all events attended by the British Monarch, and Versailles would have been Number 1 target.
MP Sandrine Rousseau said: “It’s amazing. “We are going to have Emmanuel Macron, the Republican monarch meeting Charles III while people in the street are demonstrating.
“Can this really be happening? This is an incredible denial of democracy.
“Something is happening in this country – is the priority really to receive Charles III at Versailles?”
Versailles – west of Paris – is where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, France’s last proper king and queen, lived before being guillotined at the height of the 1789 Revolution.
The palace, which was built by the Sun King, Louis XIV, still represents the fabulous wealth and privilege of France’s pre-revolutionary Royals.
A Buckingham Palace source said the situation in France “was being monitored,” but there were no immediate plans to cancel the trip, which starts on Sunday.
Raging Putin blames gossiping friends of gymnast lover for leaking details of their lavish lifestyle, claims ‘insider’
FURIOUS Vladimir Putin has blamed his gymnast lover’s friends for leaking details of their plush lifestyle, so-called Kremlin insiders claim.
The tyrant’s secret life with Alina Kabaeva, 39, was this week exposed – revealing the gold £100 million mansion near Moscow she is alleged to live in with their kids.

Kabaeva is thought to be living on Putin’s vast country estate in Lake Valdai[/caption]
Pictures of the 13,000 sq ft mansion show its luxurious interiors, said to have been inspired by Putin’s love for his hometown of St Petersburg and its eighteenth-century Hermitage Museum.
The Russian leader is believed to have bought the grand property on Lake Valdai for Olympic rhythmic gymnast Kabaeva using a slush fund in Cyprus, Russian investigative site The Project claimed.
Telegram channel General SVR – which claims to be fed information by a Kremlin insider – alleges the revelations sparked a row between him a Kalaeva.
The channel claimed raging Putin blamed Kalaeva’s gossiping pals for the leak.
It said: “Putin said that he had 100 per cent information that the leak came from Kabaeva’s circle of friends
“They say that no one has ever seen the president so furious.”
According to the channel, the fuming dictator said her friends talk “on every corner about everything they know and don’t know”.
Pictures of the mansion were leaked to The Project by a construction executive who worked around the house until 2005.
Gilded chairs can be seen arranged around a glass table and a spherical chandelier, with golden leaves hanging from the ceiling, in another photo.
According to the contractor, guests were encouraged to reach out and take one of the golden leaves.
A construction company owned by Yuri Kovalchuk, the businessman known as “Putin’s banker,” is said to have carried out the work on the mansion which was completed in 2020.
In another picture, a massive chandelier seemingly decorated with rubies can be seen.
Kabaeva’s property is said to be just half a mile from Valdai, Putin’s heavily-guarded and private residence.
Unnamed officials claimed they had spotted kids on the premises and satellite images taken between 2016 and 2020 showed a playground in the woods, which is believed to have been built for the family.
The ex-gymnast is alleged to have a secret family with Putin – which she had denied.
The area has also been frequented by Kabaeva’s distant female relatives, who are described as her chaperones in leaked train manifests.
The chaperones are said to own properties in the area.
Reports about the existence of the villa first emerged in 2021 by the team of Alexei Navalny, the jailed Russian opposition leader, who said that budget funds were used to lease the property from Kovalchuk.
Both Putin and Kabaeva have repeatedly denied they are in a relationship.

Unnamed officials who have attended Putin’s private parties say they have never seen the two together but are in no doubt they do have a relationship, claiming that only top-ranking officers in Putin’s security detail are aware of their arrangement.
Another sign of their closeness came in 2014 when Kabaeva was appointed to head Russia’s National Media Group, a vast media holding by Kovalchuk, even though she had no relevant experience.
The post provides her with an annual income of around £8.6m.
It is unclear if she still holds the post.
The Project’s investigation drew on documents provided by an unnamed whistleblower who was described as an executive in the “business empire of one of the president’s closest friends” and was directly involved in managing a Cyprus-based company used as a slush-fund for the president.
It’s claimed the whistleblower got in contact with the site as he was outraged by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said the Russian regime “must be stopped”.
Documents seen by The Project are said to reveal how Putin’s close friends and their companies were pouring money into Ermira, the Cypriot company, which was later used to purchase the luxury estate and provide for the needs of Putin and his family.
Putin was also accused of racking up profits from the sale of a vodka brand named after him which went on the market in the early 2000s.
Property rights to the vodka are said to have been repeatedly transferred between his childhood friend Arkady Rotenberg and the Cypriot company.
According to estimates by The Project, the vodka sales alone would have earned Putin at least half a million dollars between 2004 and 2019.
Kabaeva has been revealed as the owner of a number of other luxury properties in Russia, including a luxury penthouse in Sochi on the Black Sea, which is thought to be the largest apartment in Russia.
When the apartment was briefly for sale, 3D visualisations available online revealed its opulent interiors, including a dining room with marble floors and walls and gilded bannister rails on the stairs between the floors.
Kabaeva’s properties were registered under the name of her relatives, including her elderly grandmother.

Several of his photos show him traveling the world while wearing designer clothes and jewelry.
One post shows Hasbulla and former Russian professional mixed martial artist, Khabib Nurmagomedov riding on a jet ski.
“Squeezed as much as possible in Kyrgyzstan,” the caption read.
Hasbulla gained the nickname Khabib after he recreated Nurmagomedov’s iconic UFC weigh-in.

Hasbulla is also no stranger to luxury cars and private jets as several of his photos feature the vehicles, including one where the star poses next to an orange Lamborghini.
“Private planes are already arriving for me,” he wrote while standing proudly in the doorway of a private jet.
Just last month, Hasbulla was in Dubai and then Australia, according to his Instagram posts.
UFC CONTRACT
Hasbulla announced that he signed a UFC contract with his fans via an Instagram post last week.
He said: “The rumors are true. I have officially signed a deal to fight in the UFC! Details will be revealed by the end of the year.
“Thank you to @ufc, @danawhite, @khabib_nurmagomedov, @sungurov_usa, @justinozuna and everyone who helped make this dream become a reality.
“All my fans will be able to buy a Hasbulla fight kit soon on UFC.com and hasbulla.com.”
Hasbulla and pal Khabib were in Makhachev’s corner on Saturday at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi as he faced off against Charles Oliveira.
And Chief Dana White is a huge fan of Hasbullah after meeting him at UFC 267 in the Middle East last October.
He is also aware of Hasbulla’s popularity and could use that to help promote the company.
White said of Hasbulla: “So I’m going to tell you something. So the video that he sent saying ‘Dana White I’m coming to Abu Dhabi and UFC’, so when I posted that with me on the plane saying ‘I’m coming’, it’s the biggest post that I’ve ever posted.
“I have 6.7 million followers on Instagram, 6.4 million people watched that video. Is that f***ing crazy?!”
And when asked if Hasbulla could fight, White answered: “I love the kid. Is there more than a zero percent chance? Yes.”
