The King also presented First Lady Brigitte Macron with the Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog with a breast star in diamonds. The First Lady was already a member of the Order of Dannebrog from a French state visit to Denmark in 2018. His Majesty gave the breast start with diamonds to her as a special gesture.
The President of France was granted the Order of the Elephant, Denmark’s highest order, in 2018.
