Macron welcomes Charles to France with touching video: ‘You visited a prince, you return as King’
Emmanuel Macron has welcomed King Charles III to France with a touching video tribute.
Charles originally intended to make the trip in March but was forced to postpone due to nationwide protests over unpopular pension reform.
His three-day state visit began on Wednesday 20 September and is meant to highlight the friendship between the two nations with great pomp.
“You visited as a prince, you return as a King. Your Majesty, welcome,” Mr Macron tweeted the morning of his arrival, alongside a short video recounting some of Charles’ previous visits.
Queen Camilla has made the trip to France alongside her husband.
