KING CHARLES has met with a pair of Paris Saint-Germain players during his visit to France.
The monarch was in the French capital as part of his three-day state visit and met with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
As well as being presented with a printed PSG shirt, the King also met current players Presnel Kimpembe and Marie-Antoinette Katoto.
However, fans were quick to notice that Kylian Mbappe had not been present at the event, with some speculating he had snubbed the opportunity.
One fan reacted by tweeting: “He’s the King of England, eh, not a random football fan.”
Another asked: “Where is Mbappe?”

A third fan also added: “I will tell my children that Mbappe, a great revolutionary, refused to meet a king.”
Meanwhile, one more acknowledged Kimpembe’s presence as they joked: “Humanity’s most improbable encounter.”
World Cup winner Kimpembe has yet to play for the French champions this season as he continues his recovery from injury.
The defender has been sidelined with a ruptured Achilles since last November, an issue which ruled him out of the World Cup.
