An Anglo-French summit is to be held at RAF Brize Norton.
The summit will take place at the Oxfordshire air force base on Friday and French President Francois Hollande will attend, a week after his split from first lady Valerie Trierweiler was announced.
A spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed there would be no role for spouses at the summit.
Defence co-operation and energy will be high on the agenda.
