From March 29th to 31st King Charles III. together with the king’s wife Camilla on a visit to Germany, together they travel to Berlin, Brandenburg and Hamburg. On the first day, among other things, there is a celebratory state banquet, for which Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier invites the two to Bellevue Palace. In addition to various people from politics, such as Economics Minister Robert Habeck, Finance Minister Christian Lindner as well as ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel and ex-Federal President Joachim Gauck, according to “Bild” a real punk should also take a seat at the table: Toten Hosen frontman Campino!
If the report turns out to be true, this choice will only come as a surprise at first glance. Because Campino is not only committed to various campaigns for human rights and charity purposes, but has repeatedly expressed his admiration for Queen Elizabeth II. “For me, she’s a really great person,” Campino said to “Bild” before her death in 2022. “The Queen is a stroke of luck for the monarchy. ‘Live to serve’, she has followed this motto with admirable consistency and also with a huge portion of humor.”
Another unusual name on the guest list for the state banquet is “Let’s Dance” juror Motsi Mabuse. “It is a great honor and pleasure that His Majesty invited my husband and me to the state banquet by the Federal President and expressed the desire to get to know my husband and I,” she also revealed to the “Bild”.
Mabuse is not only a star in Germany. Since 2019 she has also been on the jury of the original British show “Let’s Dance”, “Strictly Come Dancing”. Charles and Camilla are said to be big fans of the show. It was only rumored last year that a live episode would be filmed at Buckingham Palace.
According to the latest report, one person that most people expected is missing: According to this, Chancellor Olaf Scholz cannot attend the state banquet in honor of the new British king.
