King Charles is on his first international trip since he became the monarch. He and Queen Camilla are in Germany. While walking in Berlin, he stopped to greet well-wishers lined up along the street waiting to see him. A funny thing happened.

Some of the people wore paper crowns from Burger King. As the king was shaking hands with the people, one man took off his Burger King crown and handed it in Charles’ direction. He said, “This is for you if you want it.” King Charles was amused and smiled as he said, “No, I am alright.”

The 74-year-old royal has a reputation for being prickly with others around him. He handled this exchange well, though.

Great scenes today during the King’s first walkabout in Berlin.
He was affectionately offered a crown – a paper Burger King one – by a well-wisher who told him politely:`This is for you, if you want it’.

An eight-year-old girl got a picture up close and personal with her little camera as her father spoke to King Charles.

Hadley Drake, eight, got away with telling the king firmly to ‘wait’ while she took a picture of him on her brightly-coloured toy camera.

King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Germany Wednesday. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife welcomed them at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate. He was the first head of state to be greeted with a full ceremonial welcome at the Brandenburg Gate. Charles highlighted the “generosity of spirit of the German people” in hosting more than one million Ukrainian refugees.

In a sign of just how significant both the British and German governments are treating his inaugural State Visit, the monarch, accompanied by his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, were greeted by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and wife, Elka Büdenbender, with full pomp and ceremony.

Welcome ceremonies usually take place at Schloss Bellevue, the official residence of the President.

The couple arrived in their State Bentley, which has been brought to Germany specially, at Pariser Platz and posed for a short photocall with their hosts with the historic monument behind them.

King Charles became the first British monarch to address the Bundestag, the German parliament. He paid tribute to the historical bonds and ties between the two nations.

Alternating between German and English, Charles said it was a “great honor” to address the Bundestag on Thursday, adding he was proud to be in Berlin to “renew the special bond of friendship between our two countries.”

He said the friendship between the two nations “meant so much to my beloved mother,” who spoke often of her visits to the country.

Charles discussed the war in Ukraine, and praised the countries’ support of Kyiv.

“Countless lives have been destroyed; freedom and human dignity have been trampled in the most brutal way. The security of Europe has been threatened, together with our democratic values,” he told the crowded chamber. “Even as we abhor the appalling scenes of destruction, we can take heart from our unity – in defense of Ukraine, of peace and freedom.”

King Charles met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz earlier on Thursday morning,

A light-hearted moment with a well-wisher is getting a lot of attention during the royal visit. I think his mother would approve.
