\n

The Prince and Princess of Wales met the German President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and his wife Elke Budenbender at Heathrow airport on Wednesday morning\u00a0 at the start of their state trip<\/a>. It is the first state visit to the UK by a German president in 27 years, and the fifth since 1958. It follows the King and Queen’s state visit to Germany in 2023.<\/p>\n

During Catherine’s greeting at Heathrow<\/a>, a lip reader deciphered the interaction between the royal and the German President’s wife, where she gave a candid update on her housing renovations.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino<\/a>, lip reader, Nicola Hickling caught Catherine’s five-word comment about when they would start redecorating: “We will start after Christmas.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The German first lady and Catherine spoke about the family’s new home and how decorating plans were going<\/a>. The expert lipreader noted Catherine had said: “We are putting together some mood boards for the room and we will start after Christmas.”<\/p>\n

The first lady replied, “Good decision, that makes sense. Can you send me pictures when they\u2019re done?” to which Catherine agreed.<\/p>\n

Prince William<\/a> and his family had been living in the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage since the autumn of 2022, but they have now settled into their new home.<\/p>\n

Their new home, Forest Lodge, is located only a short distance away from Adelaide Cottage<\/a> in Windsor Great Park. The family moved during the children’s half-term break from Lambrook School, allowing all three children to remain enrolled at their school and continue to enjoy private family life.<\/p>\n

The move was completed earlier than originally planned\u2014the family was initially expected to relocate around Christmas 2025, but moved in by early November instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The eight bedroom Georgian-style Forest Lodge property (originally named \u201cHolly Grove\u201d) was built in the 1770s, and came into the possession of the Crown Estate in 1829.<\/p>\n

Today, Catherine spoke about her home furnishing plans during the first state visit to the UK by a German president in 27 years, and the fifth since 1958.<\/p>\n

Dressed in a smart suit, William greeted the King\u2019s guests alongside his wife, who was wearing a Burberry dress with a blue coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.<\/p>\n

The royal couple shook hands<\/a> with the president and his wife, with Ms Budenbender smiling as she chatted with Catherine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
