This is a long-standing tradition: soon after arriving in London, all French ambassadors have a formal audience with the Queen, presenting their letters of credence – i.e. the letter from the French President appointing them, and their predecessor’s letter of recall. The presentation of these documents officially confirms the appointment to the British authorities.
