Reacting to the Queen’s death, Macron said on Sept. The decision to opt for what a French talk show referred to as “streetwear” stirred debate on social media and triggered misinformation that the president had disrespected the formal dress code for the funeral. They both viewed the Queen in silence before bowing slightly and walking away arm-in-arm. She was lying in state at the hall for the last four days. During the visit, the 44-year-old ditched his usual formal suit and black leather shoes for a casual blue blazer, a pair of sunglasses and navy blue trainers. Weston costing 570 euros — also raised eyebrows.

[Mr Macron](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/emmanuel-macron), the Prime Minister resisted the urge to condemn the Elysee Palace over French authorities’ handling of the Channel migrant crisis.

On the other hand, many people who have lost an elderly loved-one to a prolonged illness (me included) know that there is sometimes a well-meaning hypocrisy or deliberate grey zone in palliative care. If anyone decides to change the law (again), it should be parliament. In March, Macron praised the existing Belgian law which allows assisted suicide and euthanasia (even for minors). The law does, however, state that terminally ill patients have a right to “sleep before they die, so as not to suffer”. And yet France has yet to create the medical capacity to make that possible. Palliative care remains a poor relation in the French health service. Life and Death, and the frontier between them, are difficult subjects at the best of times – open to both honest confusion and deliberate falsification Tuesday’s majority report by the medical ethical watchdog said that this six-year-old law was no longer in line with advances in medicine and society. He said he had no ready-made answers to questions which were “anything but easy” . A comprehensive law on the End of Life was passed only six years ago, they said.

Macron’s timing was forced partly by an independent report, published on Tuesday by France’s principal watchdog on medical ethics, the Comité consultatif national d’éthique (CCNE).

The Prime Minister stressed the need for a 'constructive relationship' with the French.
