Brigitte Macron ignores her husband Emmanuel Macron's hand again

Brigitte Macron sparked widespread controversy after a striking photo of her arrival with French President Emmanuel Macron in the United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 8.

Brigitte Macron ignores her husband's hand in an awkward moment As they disembarked from the plane at RAF Northolt in London, Macron extended his hand to help her, but she did not respond and continued disembarking without even looking back. He backed off amid the silence and the cameras. The scene seemed awkward, especially given the incident on the red carpet during a high-profile official visit.

The "slap" incident tops the comments again This stance coincided with the public's revival of the famous video that went viral a few weeks ago, in which Brigitte is seen slapping her husband's face as they got off another plane. The clip garnered millions of views at the time, with some considering it a sign of tension between the couple, while others saw it as nothing more than a spontaneous joke. Macron himself sarcastically commented on the incident, saying, "We're just joking and having fun together, nothing more. But it seems some are seeing it as a global crisis!"

Brigitte's smile despite ignoring Macron's hand Despite the recurrence of the situation, Brigitte Macron showed no signs of nervousness, smiling as she continued her confident descent. Later, Macron tried to offer her his arm again to accompany her on the red carpet, but she preferred to walk alongside him without holding him. The scene sparked a wave of sarcastic and serious comments on social media, with many believing the scene held many connotations about the nature of their relationship.

Friendly glances at Windsor Castle and a soothing message from Macron Later, in a more relaxed, formal atmosphere, Macron and Brigitte appeared at the grand state banquet at Windsor Castle alongside the British royal family. Cameras captured friendly moments between the French president and the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, as they exchanged greetings and toasts amidst the presence of dignitaries. Highlighting the positive side of the visit, Macron posted an official photo of himself with Brigitte, King Charles III, and Queen Camilla, writing: “Hello, United Kingdom. I express my deep gratitude to Their Majesties the King and Queen for this touching and special welcome.”
