The Royal Family have carried out a number of European visits since the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016.

During a tour of Germany in May last year, Prince Charles said the bonds between the UK and Germany "will, and must endure" post-Brexit.

And when his son, the Duke of Cambridge, visited the country in 2016, William said the depth of Britain's friendship with Germany would not change after the UK left the EU.

Ahead of his trip, the Prince Charles held a telephone meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

A statement from Clarence House said Prince Charles and Camilla had been invited to Germany by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and they would also attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Neue Wache Memorial.

It said the National Day of Mourning would this year focus on "German-British friendship".

"The event pays tribute to the Allied commitment to the liberation from Nazi occupation and to the reconstruction, re-democratisation and subsequent reunification of Germany. It remembers all victims of war and tyranny," the statement added.
