- From December 3, King Charles III and Queen Camilla will host President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and first lady Elke Budenbender at Windsor Castle until December 5.
- The King is to host the first incoming state visit by a German president in 27 years next month, marking the fifth since 1958 and his third state visit hosted this year.
- The programme will include a ceremonial welcome, a grand state banquet in St George's Hall, Windsor Castle, and talks with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
