The King and Queen’s state visit to France has been postponed as rioting continues in the country.
Both the French and British government made the decision after a phone call between King Charles III and President Emmanuel Macron.
Mr Macron suggested the visit should not go ahead as France is engulfed in violent protests.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement:
“The King and the Queen Consort’s state visit to France has been postponed.
“Their majesties greatly look forward to the opportunity to visit France as soon as dates can be found.”
A Government spokesperson said:
“This decision was taken with the consent of all parties, after the President of France asked the British Government to postpone the visit.”
However, the Royal couple’s visit to Germany next week will go ahead as planned.
The French had growing concerns about the King and Queen’s visit.
Elysee sources believed the former royal palace of Versailles and its link to the French Revolution.
Graffiti left in Paris during Thursday’s march read:
“Charles III, do you know the guillotine?”
French police have used stun grenades, tear gas and fought hand-to-hand with violent black-clad anarchists in Paris and across France.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters have marched against Mr Macron’s plan to raise the pension age.
