King Charles to host first German state visit to UK in 27 years

SUMMARY

President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany will visit the UK from December 3 to 5, marking the first German state visit in 27 years. King Charles and Queen Camilla will host the event at Windsor Castle.

This visit is aimed at strengthening alliances and boosting trade, following the recent Kensington Treaty, which includes a new rail link between London and Berlin.

The visit will feature political discussions, royal receptions, and cultural ties, such as school exchanges. It reciprocates a previous visit by the King and Queen to Germany. The last state visit was by President Roman Herzog in December 1998.
