The short video shows President Macron looking momentarily perplexed before composing himself and waving to the waiting photographers.

The incident highlights the intense public scrutiny faced by world leaders and their families. Despite the Élysée's attempt to frame the moment as a private matter, the video has fueled public conversation, demonstrating the power of visual media in shaping public perception.
