During a historic event at Windsor Castle marking the first French state visit to the UK in 17 years, French President Emmanuel Macron was seen winking at Catherine, Princess of Wales — a moment that quickly went viral across social media platforms such as X, TikTok, and Instagram.
President Macron shared a toast with Princess Catherine, 43, who is married to Prince William and mother to Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (10), and Prince Louis (7). The exchange took place as Macron and King Charles courteously pulled out Catherine’s chair, waiting for her to be seated.

UK Royal Family Code Of Conduct
Notably, there’s no specific rule for how one meets to a member of a Royal family.
“There are no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting The Queen or a member of the Royal Family, but many people wish to observe the traditional forms. For men, this is a neck bow (from the head only) whilst women do a small curtsy. Other people prefer simply to shake hands in the usual way,” says the rule.
