The Royal Versailles Ball is a private, invitation-only, white tie event which will be held at The Palace of Versailles on 21st May 2022 on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s 203rd birthday.
It will be a spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime experience, paying homage to Napoleon III’s original Ball of 1855, which Queen Victoria attended as the guest of honour.
As one of the world’s most environmentally friendly cars, the electric Land Rover Series IIA, a quintessentially British car, aligned with its state-of-the-art Everrati EV powertrain, was deemed the most fitting vehicle to transport VIP guests in sustainable luxury.
An exclusive guest list of 1,100 will attend the Ball, including European royalty, UHNW and HNW individuals, and blue-chip corporations.
The Royal Versailles Ball supports three wonderful charity partners, UNICEF UK, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Street Child UK who work to provide educational programmes in vulnerable communities around the world, as well as support for children and families affected by the war in Ukraine.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to these chosen charities.
In addition, the Royal Versailles Ball’s Silent Auction – now live – is offering a wide array of luxury goods and experiences to raise added funds: https://www.royalversaillesballauction.com
