- Story Text: Thousands of fans of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge flocked to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on Wednesday (July 19) to catch a glimpse of the royal couple as they visited the German capital.
Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate are on a three-day visit to Germany. The royal couple arrived from Poland and while in Germany are expected to also visit Heidelberg in the south and Hamburg in the north, apart from the capital.
Later on Wednesday, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who holds a largely ceremonial role, will receive William and Kate at his official residence, Schloss Bellevue castle.
The royals' first day in Germany will end with a garden party hosted by the British ambassador to Germany, Sebastian Wood. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
