Royal happiness: Danish royal couple visits Schleswig-Holstein!

Kiel, Deutschland - The Danish royal couple recently started its first trip to Germany.

The visit, which takes place in Berlin as well as in Kiel, Schleswig and Flensburg, has excited many people in the region.

At 11 a.m. the royal couple at the state house of Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) will be welcomed. This is not only happy about the presence of the royal guests, but also emphasizes that the visit deals with deeper topics and is not just a fleeting courtesy gesture. "This shows how closely our countries are connected and underlines our good relationships," said Günther. The Danish royal couple is also accompanied by Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, which further underlines the importance of this visit.
