“The French and British governments took this decision following a telephone conversation between the president and the king this morning,” the statement said.
“The state visit will be rescheduled as soon as possible.”
In France, more than a million people took part in demonstrations against the pension reform on Thursday, and clashes between protesters and police erupted in Paris.
In Paris, police used tear gas and batons against protesters after several protesters threw rocks and firecrackers at police.
Elsewhere, protesters lit bonfires and set garbage on fire in the streets. Firefighters had to intervene to put them out.
The Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanen, announced that 123 policemen and gendarmes were injured in the clashes.
