King Charles says UK, Germany “stand together with Ukraine” on 1st trip abroad as monarch
King Charles said that the U.K. and Germany “stand together with Ukraine in defence of freedom and sovereignty” as he visited Berlin on his first trip abroad as monarch on Wednesday.

Charles was greeted by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at Bellevue Palace in Berlin. The monarch had been due to first travel to France but cancelled that part of the tour due to violent social unrest over President Emmanuel Macron’s new pension law.

The goal of Charles’ trip is to cement Britain’s improving relations with Europe and show that he can help the U.K. win hearts and minds abroad, as his mother did so successfully for seven decades.

“Our countries are working together to promote global health, to help developing countries overcome their challenges and prosper, and to advance the urgent and vital journey towards net zero,” he said while attending a state banquet in his honour.

On Thursday, the king is scheduled to give a speech to the Bundestag, Germany’s parliament and will also meet with Chancellor Olaf Scholz, talk to Ukrainian refugees and meet with British and German military personnel who are working together on joint projects.
