Various of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla arriving in Berlin, greeting officials, entering car 2. Car driving off STORYLINE: Britain's King Charles arrived at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport in Germany on Wednesday, his first international visit as the U.K.'s new monarch. Charles is making his world debut three days later and 550 miles (885 kilometres) northeast of where he had intended, due to the cancellation of his trip to France amid ongoing protests. Although King Charles III will be greeted with a hearty “willkommen” in Berlin rather than “bienvenue” in Paris, his goals remain the same: to cement Britain’s improving relations with Europe and show that he can help the U.K. win hearts and minds abroad just as his mother did so successfully for seven decades. The truncated trip starts Wednesday in Berlin, where German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will welcome Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, at the historic Brandenburg Gate. The king is scheduled to give a speech to the Bundestag, Germany’s parliament, on Thursday. He will also meet Chancellor Olaf Scholz, talk to Ukrainian refugees and meet with British and Germany military personnel who are working together on joint projects. The royal couple go to Hamburg on Friday, where they will visit the Kindertransport memorial for Jewish children who fled from Germany to Britain during the Third Reich, and attend a green energy event before returning to the U.K. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
