It's official: the King of Britain will make his first foreign visits to France and Germany

Britain's King Charles III will make his first foreign visits as a monarch to France and Germany at the end of March.

 

 "European Truth" writes about this, Sky News reports.

 

 Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the King and Queen Consort will travel to Paris before visiting Berlin and Hamburg.

 

 The king will address the Bundestag in Berlin, becoming the first British monarch to address the German parliament.

 

 The choice of European countries for the king's first state visits is significant and is likely designed to help restore relations that have soured since Brexit.

 

 The King and Queen Consort have been confirmed to attend a state banquet at the Elysee Palace in Paris.

 

 President Emmanuel Macron spoke of the late queen's commitment to France when he attended her state funeral in September.

 

 The Queen made many trips to France during her reign. Her first visit took place in 1957, four years after her coronation.

 

 Her last state visit was in June 2014 when she visited Paris and Normandy with the Duke of Edinburgh. The couple took part in events on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings.

 

 Over 60 years, the Queen has made 261 official foreign visits, including 78 state visits, to 116 different countries.

 

 The Queen was warmly received in Germany, which she visited several times. Perhaps the most famous was the state visit of 1965, which is considered by many to be a turning point in post-World War II British-German reconciliation.

 

 Her last trip to Germany was in 2015, when she visited the site of the former Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen.
