The footwear that French President Emmanuel Macron wore on his visit to London in advance of the queen’s funeral sparked a flood of internet commentary—as well as misinformation.
Prior to her funeral on Monday, the late British monarch was lying in state in front of Westminster Hall when the 44-year-old leader was pictured on Sunday strolling there with his wife Brigitte.
Macron was photographed appearing unusually relaxed, with a pair of sunglasses and — to the surprise of some observers — navy blue trainers, in place of his customary suit and dress shoes in black leather.
