(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, MAR 29 - Britain's Charles III arrived
in Germany on Wednesday for his first state visit as king, with
the trip billed as "an important European gesture" to maintain
strong ties after Brexit. The royals' plane, with "United
Kingdom" marked on the sides, landed at Berlin-Brandenburg
airport shortly before 2:00 pm (1200 GMT). "Ahead of our first
State Visit to Germany, we are very much looking forward to
meeting all of those who make this country so special. It is a
great joy to be able to continue the deepening of the
longstanding friendship between our two nations," said Charles
and Queen Consort Camilla on Twitter via the Royal Family's
account. Standing at the top of the plane's steps, the royal
couple were greeted with a 21-gun salute as two military jets
made a flypast. (ANSA-AFP).
