President Emmanuel Macron is expected to host a state banquet in honour of the King and Queen.
The King and Queen’s state visit to France, postponed after widespread rioting, will now take place in September, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The overseas tour was to be the King and his wife’s first state visit, but Germany – the second leg of the journey – became the historic first destination for the royal couple. It is understood the programme for the state visit will remain broadly similar to events planned for the March trip.The decision to defer the state visit was taken after the French leader asked the British Government to postpone the trip, Downing Street said at the time.Images of Bordeaux’s town hall set on fire by protesters, a few days before the trip was due to begin, were symbolic of the fury felt by some over Mr Macron’s reforms, and followed more than a week of daily protests.
