Prince William’s meeting with Jill Biden was moved to the Notre Dame due to weather delays. American carpenter Hank Silver, who helped rebuild the roof framework, was among the guests. French elites, including Salma Hayek and her husband, gathered for the ceremony. Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Emmanuel Macron were set to meet in Paris. The reopening service included a rite of opening the doors and the blessing of the Great Organ. Weather forced some celebrations indoors, but the event marked the reawakening of the historic cathedral after five years of restoration. Macron and Trump met during the event, with the French President expressing gratitude for Trump’s presence. The event was attended by hundreds of people, including dignitaries, marking a momentous occasion in the cathedral’s history.
