According to what we saw this very morning, Macron and his wife were received by King Charles III and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at an official ceremony in London. This event, full of symbolism, was captured by several local media outlets.

However, the most desired image was the one featuring Prince William. After many days of uncertainty, he reappeared alongside his wife, Kate Middleton.

For several days, concern for Prince William's wife has continued to grow, all due to her latest and unexpected public disappearance. Although it had been reported that she would resume her schedule, she was absent from major events such as the Ascot races.

This Tuesday, July 8, after several days of uncertainty, the Princess of Wales reappeared alongside her husband during their latest meeting with Emmanuel Macron. This was revealed by journalist José Moreno on his X profile:

"The State visit of France to the United Kingdom begins, marked by Kate Middleton's 'return' to her royal duties." In addition, this Royal Family expert took the opportunity to comment to his followers on the look chosen by the future queen consort.

As he confirmed, this time, Prince William's wife opted for "a Dior dress." This haute couture garment was paired with "the pearl necklace that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II."

Meanwhile, the future British king chose a more sober and simple style, consisting of a navy blue suit and jacket and a white jersey.
