President Emmanuel Macron and King Charles III held talks in Paris on Wednesday at the start of a long-awaited three-day state visit meant to highlight the friendship between France and the U.K.
Charles’ trip to France was postponed in March amid widespread demonstrations against Macron’s pension changes.
For their first stop in the French capital, Charles and Queen Camilla attended a ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe, where they were greeted by Macron and his wife, Brigitte.
Macron offered a warm welcome to the new king, often putting his hand on his arm and his back. Both smiled as they chatted together.
