King CharlesandQueen Camillagave a peek into what it’s like to ride in royal style during their three-day state visit to Germany.
On Friday morning, the Royal Family posted anInstagramvideo of the King, 74, and Queen Consort, 75, riding the train fromBerlinto their next destination.
“Heading to Hamburg for our final day of #RoyalVisitGermany! 🇩🇪,” courtiers captioned the clip, also sharing the message in German.
Back in Britain, the royal family is known to rely on theRoyal Trainfor transport to engagements outside of London, and view it as a home away from home — complete with an office, sleeping quarters and dining areas.
“The train seems to be the one place where, when away from home, the Queen and her family can truly relax out of the public gaze,” author Brian Hoey wrote inAt Home With the QueenofQueen Elizabeth.
