Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron in London: from the welcome of Kate Middleton and Prince William to the meeting with King Carlo III and Queen Camilla

They were Kate Middleton and the Prince William to welcome Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron In the United Kingdom, the first meeting of a three -day state trip for the French President and for the Première Dame.

The presidential couple landed at Northolt’s military airport in the late morning of Tuesday 8 July, expected by the principles of Wales in great dusting. An important opportunity, as that of the Macron is the first official visit of a European head of state after Brexit, but also marks the return of Kate Middleton to international commitments after the forced break due to cancer treatments.

The first chat of the gossip concerns the presidential couple: Descending from the scale of the plane Brigitte Macron blatantly refused the hand of her husband, who had offered to help her. An unnoticed detail, as had happened with her presumed slap to him last month, always before getting out of the presidential jet.

The princess of Wales then took the whole scene and the world forgot the small alleged misunderstandings between Madame Macron and Consorte (at least for now). Impeccable in total beige look signed by Dior, a tribute to France, the princess and the husband have accompanied the couple to meet with King Charles III and with the Regina Camilla. It was held in Windsor, where a stage of honor was set up for the ritual handshakes and the ritual photos.

After the greetings, there was a carriage walk since Windsor Castle. The king took his place next to the president, the queen traveled with Brigitte Macron, while the principles of Wales got on another means.

The agenda of the next few days could not be more dense. After meeting the king, in the Macron programs there are a visit to Westminster Abbey and that to the British Parliament, where he will pronounce a speech in front of the two reunited rooms. An appointment for which there is great anticipation, because the visit, strongly supported also by Prime Minister Starmer, is aimed at strengthening the relationships between the two countries after the UK exit from the EU. London, in short, does not want to remain isolated, especially in a historical moment in which many aspire to play a role as protagonists internationally, thanks to the ongoing conflicts. Macron will then hold flowers of flowers in front of the statue of Winston Churchill, which is located in front of the Big Ban, and to that of Charles de Gaulle Ai Carlton Gardens.

Formal, but definitely more relaxed, will be the state banquet scheduled for Windsor tonight. There will be 160 guests for an opportunity that has already entered history in its baby. It is, in fact, the first State Banquet organized at the Castle in over ten years. The last, in fact, was in 2014, when Queen Elizabeth II received Michael D. Higgins, President of the Republic of Ireland, and his wife Sabina. The protagonists have changed, but the charm of certain evenings remains intact.
