Emmanuel Macron has explained the decision to cancel King Charles III’s state visit to France.
The monarch was expected to make the visit on Sunday 26 March, but due to protests and unrest in cities across the nation, it will be rescheduled.
“What would have really not been feasible - for either the British nor for us - would have been to try to carry on as if nothing was happening,” Mr Macron said.
He added that the trip will be reorganised “for when calm returns” in France.
