Chancellor Angela Merkel will host Prince William and his wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, in Berlin next week during their first official visit to Germany.
The royal couple will be welcomed to the Chancellery in central Berlin on Wednesday, where they will have lunch, the German government said in a statement on Friday. William and Kate, as they are affectionately known in the U.K., will later attend a party at the British ambassador’s residence, according to Deutsche Presse-Agentur, which reported that fish and chips will be served to the 600 guests, among them lawmakers and business leaders.
