British royals Prince William and his wife, Kate, held Prince George and Princess Charlotte by the hand as they disembarked Wednesday from their plane at the German capital's Tegel airport. They arrived from Poland, their first stop on a two-country European trip that comes as Britain negotiates its exit from the European Union.

Upon arriving in Berlin, the Duchess of Cambridge was handed a bouquet of flowers with the young Charlotte was given a tiny version. The little royal also shook the hand of a German defense official—her first public diplomatic handshake.

George, England's future king, also waved at the German officials who greeted them at the airport.

 

 

 

The couple's first stop was the chancellery, where they had lunch with Merkel. Locals got a closer look at the royals as they visited the Brandenburg Gate, the symbol of post-war Germany's Cold War division and its subsequent reunification.

They moved on to the nearby memorial to the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust, a field of undulating concrete slabs. William and Kate were given a tour of the memorial's information center and met 96-year-old Holocaust survivor Leon Schwarzbaum, who showed them old family photos. — Philstar.com with reports from AP; Video courtesy of ODN
