King Charles travels to Germany on Wednesday in his first state visit abroad since becoming British monarch. Charles, who succeeded his mother Queen Elizabeth as the British monarch in September, had been due to travel first to France, but cancelled that part of the tour due to violent social unrest over President Emmanuel Macron’s new pension law.
