Did You Know?

This was the first visit by a British monarch to Germany for over half a century, the last royal trip having been in 1909, when King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra travelled to Berlin. In one of his speeches there, the King expressed his desire 'to cement the relations of the two empires and so to ensure the maintenance of the peace of the world'. However, World War I started just five years later and subsequent British sovereigns officially ignored Germany until this tour by the Queen and Prince Philip.
