This week has been rather busy for the presidential couple. This Wednesday, September 20, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron
welcomed King Charles III and his wife Camilla
. Moreover, a state dinner was organized at the Palace of Versaille in honor of the monarch. Many personalities were invited including Hugh Grant who was under the spell of the French First Lady.
After the stay of the royal couple, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron
will not have a minute of rest since they will go to Marseille to meet Pope Francis. Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron
will attend the mass celebrated at the Stade Vélodrôme like 57,000 other people. They will accompany the Pope to the airport at 6:45 p.m. for another private interview before the departure ceremony.
Arriving this Friday, the duo joined him the next morning. Together, they will participate in the closing of the Mediterranean Meetings.

Brigitte Macron has already met Pope Francis in June 2018 and in October 2022 alongside her husband. As is protocol, she was dressed in black as a sign of respect and humility. Unlike previous First Ladies, she did not wear a mantilla. For this meeting in Marseille, Emmanuel Macron’s partner will have more freedom.
“There is no particular protocol. A dark outfit is simply recommended for the presentation to the Pope,” said a close source to our colleagues at Gala. White is only allowed for queens, duchesses and princesses. Colorful outfits are prohibited. There is no doubt that she will be able to demonstrate elegance as usual.
