King Charles' First Overseas Visit as Monarch Postponed Due to Violent Protests in France

King Charles cancelled his state visit to France next week after violent protests erupted over President Emmanuel Macron's new pension law. The postponement, at Macron's request, will be a major embarrassment to the French leader, who had hoped the monarch's visit would mark a symbolic step in the two countries' efforts to turn a page after years of poor relations over Britain's exit from the European Union.
