New British Ambassador to France will also cover Principality
Sir Peter Westmacott, formerly British Ambassador to Turkey, and newly appointed Ambassador in Paris, will also take on the role of being the new British Ambassador to Monaco. Sir Peter is expected to present his credentials to HSH Prince Albert II in the next two weeks. However, there will be no embassy in Monaco and the current Honorary Consul, Eric Blair, will continue to report to Marseille on a day-to-day basis. In Marseille, Simon Taylor has replaced Hugh Hunter as head of Post.
