King Charles will become the first British monarch to address the French senate during next month's state visit to France and Germany, reports The Telegraph.

He will also be the first British sovereign to address German politicians from the Bundestag, reflecting what is believed to be the wish of the host countries to mark the historic trip of the new head of state. 

Charles and Camilla will travel to Paris and then continue onwards to Berlin during a six-day tour, which begins on March 26.

Chris Fitzgerald, the King's deputy private secretary, said the visit was at the request of the British Government following invitations from the French and German presidents.
