Queen Camilla arrives in Germany wearing chic turquoise outfit and special brooch

The trip to Germany is King Charles’s first overseas state visit as monarch and he and Camilla were welcomed at the airport today with a gun salute and a military fly-past.

The couple were later greeted by German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Budenbender, at a Brandenburg Gate.

A state banquet at the president’s official residence, Schloss Bellevue, will take place tonight.

Ahead of the trip, the president of Germany said: “To him and obviously all Britons, I want to say that we in Germany, in Europe, wish for close and friendly relations with the United Kingdom even after Brexit.”
