King Charles baffled as fan tries to place Burger King crown on his head in Germany

Multiple fans in Germany were seen wearing the paper crowns from the fast-food chain.

On Wednesday, the King and Camilla arrived in Germany for Charles's first state visit since becoming monarch.

There are planned royal engagements in both Berlin and Hamburg this week.

The purpose of the state visit to Germany is to strengthen relations with Britain’s European neighbours.

During the first day of his state visit King Charles spoke of his late mother and thanked the German people for the messages of "support and affection" they sent when she died last year.

The King said: "Over all these years, and in so many ways, I have been struck by the warmth of the friendship between our nations and by the vitality of our partnership in countless areas."

He continued: "It was, Mr President, a friendship which mattered greatly to my mother, the late Queen, who cared deeply about the bond between our two countries.

"The relationship between Germany and the United Kingdom matters greatly to me... I will do all I can to strengthen the connections between us."

President Steinmeier described the King's decision to pick Germany to host the state visit as an "important gesture for German-British relations".

He said: "Our situation is different as we look to the future, yet we are doing so together," he said.

"No matter what lies ahead, I know that our German-British friendship will remain significant and will remain firm.

"Our friendship is important and it is strong."
