King Charles III comes to Germany on Wednesday. Her first six months as monarch passed without major conflicts – but the EU and Harry and Meghan caused problems.
The new British monarch’s first trip abroad did not go as planned. Last Sunday Carlos III. to fly to France. But the state visit was canceled at short notice. Given the increasingly violent protests against pension reform in France, the timing would have been unfavorable, he said. A former British ambassador to Paris said that a lavish state banquet at Versailles, with people rioting outside, would inevitably be reminiscent of the French Revolution – and that would not be good optics.
Therefore, Charles’s first trip abroad will lead to Germany. He is expected in Berlin on Wednesday. He will be the first monarch to address the Bundestag, and a visit to the Brodowin ecovillage is also on the agenda. The state visit comes about six months after Charles succeeded his mother.
