Before the official visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to England, a blood vessel was seen bursting in the eyes of King Charles. This condition, which is said to be unrelated to any health issues, drew attention before the visit. Macron and his wife Brigitte came to England for the first official state visit in 17 years.
King Charles of England was seen with a noticeable burst blood vessel in his eye ahead of the official visit of French President Emmanuel Macron. It was stated that the redness in the King's right eye was not related to any other health issue.
This visit by Macron, along with his wife Brigitte, marks the first official state visit to the country in 17 years. The Macron couple was welcomed by Prince William and Princess Kate at RAF Northolt Air Base in the morning, and later met with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.
The welcoming ceremony was quite grand. King Charles and President Macron paraded through the streets of Windsor in a royal carriage. Following them, Queen Camilla and Brigitte Macron also took their place in another carriage. Prince William and Princess Kate participated in the ceremony in a third carriage along with French ministers.
Police and soldiers ensured security along the parade route. Even places like flower pots and trash bins in the area were checked by security teams. Municipal officials stated that this large organization was planned to cause minimal disruption to the residents of the city.
During the official welcome at Windsor Castle, Macron kissed Queen Camilla's hand. His wife Brigitte greeted the Queen with a French-style double cheek kiss. Macron also gave a warm greeting by placing his hand on King Charles's back. The entire delegation stood in respect while the French national anthem was played.
The visit has become an important symbol in terms of diplomatic relations between England and France, while the burst blood vessel in King Charles's eye was one of the notable details of the ceremony.
