Brigitte Macron's daughter has told a court in Paris that sexist cyber-bullying negatively affected her mother's health and living conditions.
Tiphaine Auzière, 41, is the step-daughter of French President Emmanuel Macron.
She took the stand on the second and final day of the trial of 10 people accused of spreading unsubstantiated claims over Brigitte Macron's gender and sexuality.
Mrs Macron, 72, has long been the target of conspiracy theories which allege she is a transgender woman.
"It is important to be here today to express the harm my mother has faced. I wanted to give an account of what her life has been like since the moment she started being targeted by these attacks," Ms Auzière said.
