David Cameron 'piggybacking' on Queen's State visit to Germany ahead of vital talks on EU membership - Telegraph

David Cameron has been invited to "piggyback" on the Queen's state visit to Germany just hours before crucial EU talks involving Angela Merkel over Britain's relationship with Brussels.

The unusual invitation has raised eyebrows among some German sources as it is only the second time that Mr Cameron has joined the Queen abroad since being Prime Minister.

Downing Street insist that the Germans have invited Mr Cameron to the dinner and that the timing is coincidental.

I didn't watch the video, but I have to say those are some nice digs- a hotel fit- well for a Queen.;)
 
A state visit by the Queen planned for next week has sent Germany into an untypical bout of enthusiasm for all things British.

For days, newspapers have been gripped by every obscure detail of the visit, down to the fact that the British ambassador’s lawn has been specially cleared of daisies ahead of a royal garden party.

Details of a four-page guide to royal protocol issued to guests have been gleefully reported – including a strict injunction against trying to take a selfie with Her Majesty.

Germany’s biggest-selling newspaper, Bild, has even tried to stake a claim to the Royal family, running a lengthy feature on their German ancestry under the headline “How German is the Queen?”

It is a far cry from the usual portrayal of Britain in the German media, which is dominated by a highly critical view of the referendum on EU membership and David Cameron’s demands for reform.

Large crowds are expected to turn out to meet the Queen at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on Tuesday.

Her Majesty & Prince Philip are on their way to Hotel Adlon in Berlin. There are no engagements scheduled this evening.#RoyalVisitGermany
 
I thought the media here in the UK was bad, but it's nothing compared to the German media. Most of what I've read and seen is just nonsense.
 
I love that the State Bentley was brought over to Germany to carry The Queen and Prince Philip around on their State Visit. The Queen is wearing a nice blue overcoat with her Prince Albert Sapphire and Diamond Brooch.
 
 
Queen Elizabeth II began a state visit to Germany today that will include her first trip to a former Nazi concentration camp.

The 89-year-old monarch and her husband Prince Philip, 94, received a red-carpet welcome as they left their jet at Tegel airport on a grey Berlin evening.

A German military honor guard lined their route to their car, while artillery fired a 21-gun salute and fighter jets overflew the area in tribute.

You almost could say they are home again (I'm just joking) :ROFLMAO: 'Die Queen' sounds very unfortunate for native English speakers.The Germans love her and she is THE Queen for them, like if you speak of the Queen everyone knows who you mean.

Queen meets Angela Merkel on visit to Berlin - Telegraph

The most powerful woman on the planet met the most famous woman in the world when Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the Queen to Germany.

On the first full day of the Queen’s four-day State visit, Mrs Merkel met Her Majesty at the Chancellery, her official workplace near the Reichstag in Berlin.

It is the third time the two women have met, but the first in Germany, and Mrs Merkel looked delighted to be hosting a woman she admires and respects.
