THE Queen is set to host Angela Merkel at Windsor Castle this week – just days after England beat Germany in the Euros.
Her Majesty will meet with the German Chancellor on Friday afternoon following her country’s 2-0 triumph at Wembley yesterday.
Buckingham Palace confirmed today: “Her Majesty The Queen will receive the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Dr. Angela Merkel, in an Audience at Windsor Castle on Friday, 2nd July 2021.”
It will come just days after England’s first win over Germany since the World Cup triumph in 1966.
Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane sank the Germans with late goals and blew open England’s route to the final of the Euros.
And Gareth Southgate’s team showed an un-English sense of nous as they bored the Germans to death on their way to a fourth straight clean sheet.
It’s not known whether Merkel and the Queen will discuss the win on Friday, as they meet for the first time since the G7 Summit earlier this month.
