King Charles was told tonight that Brexit had weakened the bonds between the UK and Germany, but the Royal Family had helped to rebuild them, having “consistently forged new ties” between the two countries.
The King and Queen, along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, were listening to their guest, the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, during the official speeches at the state banquet in Windsor Castle.
It was staged in St George’s Hall at a 45-metre-long table at the end of the first day of the state visit by President Steinmeier and his wife.
