THE King, the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales have given a warm welcome to the President of Germany at the start of his historic state visit.
> Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer meets President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at Number 10
(Justin Talli)
Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Budenbender, were met by the King and Queen in the chilly open air yesterday, outside Windsor and Eton Riverside train station, with the famous castle as the backdrop.
Charles opened his arms wide as Mr Steinmeier approached and loudly told the King: “It’s so wonderful, your majesty, to see you again”, before giving a hearty chuckle as he placed his hand on top of the King’s as they shook hands.
In the bright, cold December sunshine, the royal party and their guests took part in a colourful carriage ride through the streets of the Berkshire town, led by a Sovereign’s Escort from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
Charles is hosting Mr Steinmeier on the first state visit to the UK by a German leader in 27 years.
