Princess Kate will take a starring role in a state visit next week as the King and Queen welcome President Emmanuel Macron of France to the UK. The Princess of Wales, 43, will accompany her husband Prince William, 43, to greet the French leader and his wife Brigitte Macron when they land in London on Tuesday.
The couple will then travel by car with Emmanuel and Brigitte to Windsor Castle. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles and Queen Camilla will then formally welcome the couple on a Royal Dias at Datchet Road, not far from the castle, where a Royal Salute will be fired.

Once this is over, a private lunch will be held in the State Dining Room of Windsor Castle, before further engagements are carried out.
While most state visits are held at Buckingham Palace, this visit is being held at Windsor as a result of Buckingham Palace’s ongoing refurbishment works.
