Remarks by The King at the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, British Museum

King Charles visited the British Museum for the opening of the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, marking its first display in the UK in nearly 1,000 years. In remarks, he highlighted history shared by Britain and France and our relationship.


He said the tapestry tells the story of 1066, the Battle of Hastings, and the Norman Conquest. Charles also described it as a symbol of trust and friendship between the two nations, while thanking those involved in the loan.

The exhibition brings a remarkable medieval artwork to London, offering visitors an opportunity to explore scenes of war, politics, and daily life. The King’s remarks emphasized how history continues connecting.
