British Royal couple denied hotel room in France

London: A luxury hotel in France has turned down a booking from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry saying it would be “unethical” to cancel existing reservations to make way for the Royals.

Le Hôtel Marotte in Amiens said it would not be able to accommodate the Royals while they represent Britain at the centenary of the Battle of the Somme in France, as they were “already booked solid.”

The Royal Family are understood to have requested four suites between 30 June and 1 July at the only five-star hotel near the battlefields, according to French newspaper Courrier Picard.
