State Visit to the United Kingdom: first day.

At the invitation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the President of the Republic and Mrs. Brigitte Macron paid a State Visit to the United Kingdom from July 8 to 10, 2025.

This State Visit is the first by a European Union leader since Brexit. It follows the State Visit of Their Majesties to France in September 2023.

The aim of the visit is to strengthen the bilateral relationship around key shared priorities such as defense and security, energy, culture, space, artificial intelligence, and economic exchanges.
