Talk about needing a good travel agent who can pull some strings for you.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, traveling with Prince Harry, were refused a room at Le Hôtel Marotte in Amiens, France, because the hotel was fully booked, reports the British Independent newspaper.
The Royal Family requested four suites for two nights, June 30 and July 1, when they will be attending an event commemorating the Battle of the Somme. The hotel is the only five-star property near the battlefields, but it is “already booked solid.”
Manager Oliver Walti said the hotel was contacted by the French Foreign Ministry in January to make a reservation, but “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.”
Perhaps there’s an Airbnb nearby?
