Announced in September 2023 by Queen Camilla and Madame Brigitte Macron during the King and Queen’s State visit to France, the Entente Littéraire Prize is inspired by the Entente Cordiale, the 1904 agreement between the UK and French governments that improved bilateral relations.

The €8,000 prize will be split equally between the creators of the book.
