After appearing to squeeze the Queen’s hand lightly, Brigitte finally let go and the two stood side by side in front of the monument.
It should be noted that earlier – the French presidential couple had set up King Charles and Queen Camilla for 20 minutes at the ceremony, which was heavily commented on by the French and British media.
