Carla Bruni pays tribute to Prince Philip
On her Instagram account, Carla Bruni paid tribute to Prince Philip by sharing a snapshot of her in his company, accompanied by a few words: “Your Highness, it was such an honor to have met you. “
It was in April 2008 that Carla Bruni first met the Duke of Edinburgh, during an official trip to England. Delighted with this meeting, the former first lady did not hesitate to compliment the royal couple for their welcome. And this friendly love at first sight was obviously mutual since Prince Philip made no secret of having found Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife absolutely superb. He even joked with Nicolas Sarkozy explaining to him that he “fought above his category”!
A meeting that will remain engraved in the heart of Carla Bruni.
