Wags: Amélie Derbaudrenghien, Britta Ernst, Carrie Johnson and Brigitte Macron
(Picture: AP)Terrible time for women, don’t you think? Just when we thought all our hard won equality was safe, all of a sudden we’re reminded of the fundamental discrepancies between the condition of men and women. Yes, I am talking about the G7 summit in Bavaria and the appalling spectacle of the leaders’ wives and girlfriends on display.
What is it about international summits which make leaders think it necessary to bring their spouses? And then, mortifyingly, to put them on display in a parallel show of unity to their husbands’. So the man hugs of Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson were echoed in the mwah moment of Brigitte and Carrie.
