German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and First Lady Elke Büdenbender will arrive at Heathrow this morning, where they will be welcomed by the Prince and Princess of Wales. They will then travel to Windsor to be officially welcomed by the King and Queen.
They will travel through the Berkshire town in a horse-drawn carriage procession and arrive at Windsor Castle Quadrangle for a pageant of pomp and pageantry.
After a private lunch at the castle, the German couple will encounter a special exhibition of exhibits from the Royal Collection Trust.
Guests will then travel to London, where President Steinmeier will head to Downing Street to meet Sir Keir Starmer.
Separately, Ms Büdenbender will visit Judith Kerr Primary School in south-east London to meet pupils and celebrate the school’s connection with the famous German-born British writer and illustrator, author of The Tiger Who Came to Tea.
The day will culminate with a white tie and tiara dinner at the festively decorated St George’s Hall in Windsor.
