French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron have filed a defamation lawsuit in the Delaware Supreme Court (USA) against American conservative activist and podcast host Candace Owens.

The lawsuit refers to what it describes as «absurd claims» made by Owens, the most serious being her allegation that Brigitte Macron was born male under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux.

The legal filing also states that Owens publicly claimed the Macrons are blood relatives and that Emmanuel Macron is the product of a CIA experiment or a similar «mind control program».

According to Reuters, to win a defamation case in the U.S., plaintiffs must prove that the defendant acted with actual malice – meaning they knew the information was false or showed reckless disregard for the truth.

It’s worth noting that the conspiracy theory claiming Brigitte Macron was born a man first gained traction on social media in 2021.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have arrived in the United Kingdom on an official visit. Upon disembarking from the plane, the presidential couple proceeded to Windsor Palace, accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Wales.

King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla were already awaiting the guests. Then, they all participated in a carriage procession along the Long Walk, retracing the route taken by Nicolas Sarkozy during his 2008 visit.

The agenda included an inspection of the Honour Guard and a review of the troops before their march. Later, a lunch was held at Windsor Castle, followed by a viewing of items from the Royal Collection related to France.

For the welcoming of the distinguished guests, Kate Middleton chose an elegant monochrome look – a powder-pink ensemble consisting of a fitted jacket and a tulle skirt. The stunning Dior outfit was complemented by a hat from British designer Jess Collett. Her jewellery included a pearl necklace and earrings that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.

Special attention should also be paid to the looks of France’s First Lady and the Queen Consort. Brigitte Macron appeared in a closed white dress adorned with golden details. Camilla also opted for a total look but in emerald green tones.

In the evening, the royal family hosted a lavish banquet in honour of the guests. While Kate wore a light-toned outfit during the day, in the evening she chose a wine-coloured cape dress, finished off with a luxurious tiara.

Brigitte Macron also opted for a cape-style dress, though in a blue hue, while Camilla welcomed the guests in a white ensemble.

Charles III, Emmanuel Macron, and the Prince of Wales all wore black tailcoats for the evening.

For the first time in four decades, the President of France paid an official visit to Norway. Emmanuel Macron, accompanied by his wife Brigitte, arrived in Oslo, where they were ceremoniously received by the royal family. The photo was published by the Royal House of Norway.

The visit began with a working lunch between the President of the French Republic and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre at the historic Akershus. After the lunch, an official meeting took place at the Prime Minister’s office.

While the President discussed state affairs, Brigitte Macron had a separate program: the First Lady spent time with Queen Sonja and Crown Princess Mette-Marit at the gallery named after the Queen.

Later during the visit, Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Ingrid Alexandra welcomed President Macron at a meeting with representatives of the business community.

The highlight of the day was a formal gala dinner hosted by the royal family in honor of the French delegation. Among the guests were Crown Prince Haakon and his wife, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, and Princess Astrid, Mrs. Ferner.

The evening menu impressed with its refinement: shrimp, lightly smoked trout tartare with sour cream, horseradish, caviar, and melon, halibut with vegetables and a shellfish sauce, and for dessert — plum with lilac ice cream, hazelnuts, and lemon.

During Paris Fashion Week, Louis Vuitton presented its Fall-Winter collection. Unlike previous years, the show did not take place at the Louvre.

Also in attendance was Brigitte Macron, the First Lady of France.

Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s creative director, presented the new collection in what the brand described on Instagram as «the bustling atmosphere of a Parisian train station, where fleeting moments are shared among strangers, weaving a tapestry of stories.»

The collection featured trench coats, leather jackets, ruffled skirts, and garments in a variety of prints and colors. One of the standout designs was a red-and-white checkered print. In total, the collection comprised 60 looks.

Additionally, the show included ruffles, voluminous silhouettes, broad shoulders, weather-resistant materials, faux fur, and unique accessories.
