For the last stop on their joint state visit to Germany, King Charles III and his wife Camilla travelled to Hamburg on a regular ICE train. Also on board on Friday morning was Eva Kihm from Hamburg, who had to find a new seat because of the high-ranking visitor. "I can only see that I can't get to my seat because my reservation was in carriage one. It's closed," she said shortly before departure on Friday morning. The royal couple were travelling in the first carriage. The fact that they were travelling on the same train was pure coincidence. "It was booked a long time ago, I didn't know about it," she said. She had also travelled on the route with Helmut Schmidt a long time ago. "It happens quite often that a celebrity is there. I noticed that everything is very simple and normal." Another passenger, who did not want to give her name, said that she only noticed that the king was coming when she saw the barrier on the platform. "I heard on the news yesterday that he is going to Hamburg today - and I thought, well, let's see, in terms of time it will be the same train," she said. "In a child's imagination that's a nice thing. But he's a human being like the rest of us." A male and female teacher from near Hamburg also got on the train with their class. "We got here an hour early because we were afraid that everything would be cordoned off," said the teacher. "The only thing that matters to us is that the train runs," he said. With or without the king. They had planned the trip to Berlin a year ago to visit the Bundestag. However, the visit was cancelled because of the king's visit, he said. But the class did see the king at the Brandenburg Gate. #kingcharles #ice #worldnewschannel Subscribe to the WELT YouTube Channel http://bit.ly/WeltVideoTVabo WELT DOKUS Channel / weltdoku WELT Podcast Channel / weltpodcast Short news on WELT Netzreporter Channel / dienetzreporter The WELT news livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT news channel on Instagram https://bit.ly/IGWELTTV WELT on Instagram http://bit.ly/2X1M7Hk On our own behalf: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to accept any more comments.
