British Royal Couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Extend a Warm Welcome to French President, Emmanuel Macron, During His State Visit
In a significant diplomatic move, King Charles III welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, for a three-day State Visit in Windsor today. This is the first such visit from a French President to the UK in over a decade, with the last State Visit to Windsor Castle having taken place in 2008.
The day began with a military welcome at the Windsor Castle Quadrangle, followed by a carriage procession through the town, where the streets were adorned with Union Jack and Tricolore flags. The royals and the Macrons traveled to Windsor together, with Prince William and Kate Middleton greeting the visiting Head of State at RAF Northolt at 11 a.m.
Kate Middleton, dressed in an outfit by Christian Dior and a hat by Jess Collett, accessorized her look with Princess Diana's earrings and a pearl necklace from the late Queen's collection. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge later performed a traditional responsibility, greeting the President and his wife on a dais in Windsor.
King Charles III's banquet speech during the visit will focus on shared values between the UK and France. The need to stand united in the face of complex threats will be a key theme in his address.
Victoria Murphy, a frequent contributor to Good Morning America and the author of the book "The Queen: A Life in Pictures" released in 2021, has reported on the British Royal Family since 2010. She noted that this State Visit is expected to send a signal of European solidarity and resilience.
This State Visit comes at a time when the UK is seeking to strengthen its diplomatic ties with France, following Britain's departure from the European Union in 2020. It is the first incoming State Visit from a European Union leader since this event.
The State Visit is intended to foster closer relations between the UK and France, and it is hoped that this visit will mark the beginning of a new era of cooperation between the two nations.
