LONDON (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron will pay a state visit to Britain in July after he accepted an invitation from King Charles, Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday. Macron and his wife Brigitte will be hosted by Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle just outside London from July 8-10.

Emmanuel Macron 's office has pushed back against claims he had a bag of cocaine during a trip to Ukraine. Rumours spread on social media after the French president was filmed removing a crumpled, white item from a table as he met with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz on a train on Saturday.
