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

King Charles's state visit to France has been postponed due to the ongoing pension protests in the country. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence that erupted during the protests and said it would not have been appropriate to host a foreign dignitary amidst the unrest. The visit was meant to be Charles III's first major international appearance as king and a celebration of historic cross-Channel relations. The UK government said Macron had requested the postponement, and the visit is likely to be rescheduled for the beginning of summer.
