King Charles and Queen Camilla bid farewell to French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron on Wednesday after hosting the couple.
The royal family shared two pictures of the two couples together as the king and his wife saw off their guests.
In the first picture, the two couples face the camera for a departing photo.
The second photo shows the king waving to Macron and his wife, while Brigitte Macron has her hand extended in a dramatic gesture.
The photos sparked some humorous comments on Instagram, with one fan jokingly saying, "Queen Camilla is like I'm out of here! I'm so tired. Thanks for coming out. I need a nap."
Another fan commented, "Look at Camilla!!! Hahahaha."
A third fan poked fun at the first picture, saying, "Nobody is standing by Madame Macron. Her husband is scared for his life and hanging on to King Charles like a scared child."
President Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron arrived in the UK to a spectacular welcome at the start of their state visit.
The president and Mrs Macron were greeted by Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton - on behalf of The King - ahead of the official welcome ceremony in Windsor.
In Windsor Town Centre, The King and Queen greeted their guests as the State Visit officially began, before boarding carriages which took them through crowds in the town and up the iconic Long Walk to Windsor Castle.
Later in the evening, the King, accompanied by The Queen and Members of the Royal Family, hosted a state banquet in St George’s Hall, Windsor Castle.
