- Just seen news of Palmerston’s retirement. I get it but ..... dammit we’ll miss you @DiploMog. Thanks for the memories. 😍😭
- Ce soir, la Flamme sous l’Arc de Triomphe est ravivée en hommage au 70 ans de règne de Sa Majeste @RoyalFamily. Un beau geste de la part de la France - merci @Elysee @EmmanuelMacron et @ArcDeTriomphe, ainsi que Mme Macron et @MinColonna 🇬🇧🇫🇷🙏
- First day as HM Ambassador to France. I felt the weight of history in the ‘Duff Cooper’ library, but also the lightness of being the first female ambassador to sit at Wellington’s desk and claim it as my own. Then I got stuck in. #diplomacy
- Je remercie chaleureusement le Président @EmmanuelMacron pour sa visite aujourd'hui au sein de la Résidence britannique afin de rendre hommage à Sa Majesté la Reine au nom du peuple français. Ses mots et sa déclaration nous ont beaucoup touchés et ils nous vont droit au cœur.
- With profound sorrow I learned tonight of the death of HM The Queen - a great loss for my country and for all those in France who loved her as much as we did. I thank @EmmanuelMacron for his kind words, and the French people for their incredible support at this difficult time.
- Proud to be part of this. If you’d told me 30 years ago that one day I’d be a) in Vogue b) 1st female 🇬🇧Ambassador to 🇫🇷 AND c) Mum of 3, I would have laughed my head off. Hope this inspires other ‘normal people’ to follow their dreams.
- Then. And now. Allies. Partners. Friends. The essential relationship. 🇬🇧🇫🇷
- Hi @danisnotonfire. I was at your Melbourne show w/ my daughter. You said you'd respond to dog photos. Here's ours!
- And: we’re (finally) off to Paris. Just about space for the dog and the tea bags. On y va! 🐶☕️🇬🇧➡️🇫🇷
- Je suis ravie d’être la prochaine ambassadrice du Royaume Uni 🇬🇧 en France 🇫🇷, la première femme dans ce rôle. J’ai hâte de prendre le relais de @EdLlewellynFCDO cet été, et de travailler avec la brillante équipe @UKinFrance.
- Delighted to welcome the Duchess of Edinburgh to France for the @Paris2024 @Olympics. 🚲🏑 Her Royal Highness is supporting @TeamGB as Patron for @BritishCycling and hockey.
- An honour to stand beside @EmmanuelMacron this evening @ArcDeTriomphe to pay homage to Her Majesty, and her immense contribution to 🇬🇧🇫🇷 relations. I thanked the President and, through him, the people of France for their huge support on the occasion of the #PlatinumJubilee
