HELLO! joined Their Majesties as they arrived in Paris to begin their three-day visit, which saw them warmly welcomed by President Emmanuel Macron, his wife Brigitte and excited well-wishers.
His Majesty, showing he has inherited his mother Elizabeth II’s ability with language, addressed his hosts in fluent French and, while France may not have heard the cry “Vive le roi” much since the revolution, it echoed in the streets of Paris as the monarch – and his elegant wife – gave a masterclass in soft diplomacy.
Over the following pages, HELLO! takes you through the highlights…
DAY ONE
Arriving in warm sunshine, the King and Queen were welcomed at Paris-Orly airport by French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, as well as UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, Britain’s ambassador to France Dame Menna Rawlings and her French counterpart Hélène Tréheux-Duchêne.
The Queen looked radiant in a dusky pink Fiona Clare coat dress and beret-style hat by Philip Treacy, which she held on to as gusts of wind swept the tarmac.
After walking the red carpet through a guard of honour, the King and Queen where whisked away for a ceremonial welcome from President Macron at the Arc de Triomphe.
While the French leader bowed to His Majesty, his wife Brigitte greeted Her Majesty with a kiss on both cheeks, showing the warmth of the women’s blossoming friendship.
