The King will tell Emmanuel Macron there are “no borders” between Britain and France in their shared efforts to solve “complex threats”. King Charles will speak of the vital partnership between the two countries in the face of challenges “emanating from multiple directions”, faced together as “friends and allies”. He will make a speech at a state banquet on Tuesday night, ahead of a political summit between Sir Keir Starmer and Mr Macron later this week aimed at tackling the small boats crisis.
