Kate Middleton’s brother popped the question to the French financial analyst — who is trilingual and grew up in Germany, Indonesia, Chile, France, Belgium and England — in September 2019. However, their wedding plans were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I was able to interact with [William and Kate] in very poor English,” the mayor told local publicationVar Matin. “We talked about the charms of Bormes-les-Mimosas and its climate, banalities…. It was a simple moment, and I wasn’t more impressive than that!”
“Words cannot describe how happy I am ❤️,” he added.
