The British state visit to France has begun. King Charles and Queen Camilla have landed at Orly airport outside Paris.
The royal couple was greeted by the French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.
The trip was originally supposed to take place in March, but unrest in large parts of France, in protest against President Emmanuel Macron’s overhaul of the pension system, put an end to the visit.
After arrival, the couple will travel on to central Paris to meet Macron and his wife Brigitte. During the evening, there will be a banquet at the Palace of Versailles where the Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich will perform for the guests.
The state visit lasts three days.
