King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort, have officially kicked off their first royal tour since Charles ascended the throne.

The royals arrived at the Berlin-Brandenburg Government Airport in Germany on Wednesday morning, where they were greeted by a 21 gun salute and a fly-past carried out by two military jets.

The queen consort wore an aquamarine blue tweed coat dress, which she paired with a teal fascinator adorned with peacock feathers. She finished off the look with black leather gloves, black heeled knee-high boots, a rectangular black leather clutch, and a blue flower brooch. Meanwhile, the king wore a dark blue suit with a white collared button-up and a bright blue tie with a white diamond pattern. He stayed warm in a long black overcoat.

Charles and Camilla later received a full ceremonial welcome at Brandenburg Gate, a monument in Berlin. There, they met with the president of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, as well as First Lady Elke Buedenbender.

The occasion marked the first time that a head of state has been welcomed at Brandenburg Gate. Usually, the welcome ceremonies take place at Schloss Bellevue, the official residence of the German president.

The foursome then departed for Schloss Bellevue, where they greeted members of the German and United Kingdom delegations.
