Macron and his wife receive royal welcome in Britain

In the first official visit by a French president to Britain since Nicolas Sarkozy, Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte arrived in London and were welcomed by the British royal family. In a visit described as "historic" by the British government, the French president met with King Charles III at Windsor Castle.

From the royal carriage welcome to the official dinner, the trip was a sign of efforts to bring the two countries closer together, based on shared interests in areas such as defense, immigration, climate, and trade.

From Paris' perspective, the visit was seen as a symbolic message about the two European powers' willingness to cooperate more closely in a complex era of international relations.
