King Charles issues statement ahead of Emmanuel, Brigitte Macron visit

The Royal Family on Monday released a statement ahead of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit.

The statement said, "Tomorrow, The King and Queen will welcome The President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, and Mrs. Macron for a State Visit to the UK.

Macron,47 and his wife Brigitte Macron,72, will pay a state visit to Britain in July after he accepted an invitation from King Charles.

Macron and  Brigitte will be hosted by Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle just outside London from July 8-10.

The grand ceremonial event will be the first for Macron, who enjoys a good personal relationship with the British monarch. The British royals were moved by Macron's heartfelt tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth following her death in 2022 when he said: "To you, she was your queen. To us, she was the queen".

"When my mother died last year, my family and I were moved, beyond measure, by the tributes paid to her throughout France," Charles told the French senate during his visit to Frnace.
