LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's King Charles will welcome German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to Windsor Castle for a three day trip in December, the first state visit by a German President for 27 years, a statement from Buckingham Palace said on Monday.
It will be the third state visit hosted by the British monarch this year, after he welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron in July, and U.S. President Donald Trump in September, trips which helped the UK strengthen ties and boost trade with those countries.
