WATCH: Brigitte Macron Rejects Husband’s Helping Hand Getting off Plane in the UK, Reigniting Controversy Weeks After She Was Filmed Slapping Him in the Face

Brigitte Macron appears to snub her husband Emmanuel’s offer of help as she descends the plane’s stairs.

Macron’s state visit to the UK begins mired in controversy.

It’s been 17 years since the last European head of state visited the UK, when former French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his movie star wife Carla Bruni were hosted by the Queen Elisabeth at Windsor Castle in 2008.

Now, in 2025, it’s a different British Monarch (King Charles) receiving a different French President with a very different wife.
