The French President Emmanuel Macron touched down at RAF Northolt on July 8, kick-starting a three-day state visit which makes history as the first EU head of state to make a UK state visit since Brexit.
And further history was to be made on the runway by Catherine, Princess of Wales, who joined William, Prince of Wales, in greeting the president and his wife, Brigitte Macron. The princess opted for a blush pink outfit from the French house of Dior, which is thought to be the first time she has ever worn an outfit from the brand once beloved by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
