📸 From reuterspictures: Britain’s King Charles visited Germany in his first state visit abroad since ascending the throne
The king, on the second day of a three-day trip to Germany, alternated between German and English for the half-hour speech, which won a standing ovation from lawmakers.
"Since I last spoke in this building the scourge of war is back in Europe," he told a packed plenum which included the chancellor, the president and several former presidents. Charles, who has German ancestry and who has visited Germany in a personal and official capacity more than 40 times, met later with some of the Ukrainians who have taken refuge in Germany since Russia's February 2022 invasion of its neighbour.
"And perhaps most importantly, for the last 50 years we have laughed together - both at each other, and with each other," he said with a grin, in a speech that itself frequently drew laughter from lawmakers.Charles' trip has drawn mixed reactions from ordinary Germans, with some questioning the relevance of the British monarchy and others turning up enthusiastically to greet Charles.
Throughout his visit, German officials have praised his interest in environmental causes and sustainability that has shone through in the engagements he has chosen to understake.
