Body Language Expert Unveils Tension: Macron's Relationship on Display in UK Visit
Macron's Frosty Display: French First Lady Brigitte Ignored Her Husband in Awkward Moment
In a shocking display of icy behavior, French First Lady Brigitte Macron repeatedly rejected and ignored her husband Emmanuel Macron as they landed in the UK today, a body language expert has revealed. The awkward moment comes on the heels of a similar incident in May, where footage showed Mrs. Macron appearing to push her husband's face away as their plane touched down in Vietnam.
As the Macrons arrived at the airfield, Mr. Macron extended his hand to help his wife off the plane, but she appeared to disregard him, instead gripping the handrail and leaving him to drop his hand. The frosty display was a far cry from the warm and loving gestures often seen between the power couple.
According to body language expert Judi James, Mrs. Macron's behavior signaled a clear message: "She might be expected to be welded to her husband's arm wearing a look of eternal devotion after that incident of the rough-looking shove with her hand, but instead here she appears to both reject and even ignore him."
The Macrons' awkward moment was just one of many highlights from their three-day state visit to the UK, which kicked off today. The couple will be hosted at Windsor Castle, where they will meet with King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
In a bizarre twist, Mrs. Macron's body language suggested she was determined to ignore her husband's offers of help, even as he smiled politely and held out his hand to usher her into the car. As they waited for their motorcade, Mrs. Macron pulled out her phone and began checking the screen, appearing to deliberately exclude her husband from the conversation.
Meanwhile, Mr. Macron seemed undeterred by his wife's frosty behavior, continuing to extend gestures of affection and hospitality throughout their visit. In a move that would have been unthinkable in years past, he even bent down to plant a kiss on the back of Kate Middleton's hand, earning him a warm smile from the Princess.
The Macrons' state visit comes at a time when tensions between France and the UK are running high. The two nations are facing multiple complex threats, including defense, technology, and climate change. In his toast at tonight's state banquet, King Charles III will stress the vital partnership between France and the UK, saying: "Our two countries face a multitude of complex threats, emanating from multiple directions. As friends and as allies, we face them together."
In a move that is sure to delight royal watchers, the Macrons will be treated to a carriage procession through Windsor and along part of the Long Walk, just as former French President Nicolas Sarkozy did on his visit in 2008.
As the world watches the Macrons navigate their state visit, one thing is clear: despite the awkward moments and frosty displays, this power couple knows how to put on a show. With their charm, charisma, and unwavering dedication to their duties as head of state, it's no wonder they're one of the most beloved and respected couples in the world.
