Duchess Kate, Prince William and their adorable munchkins, Charlotte and George, arrived in Berlin yesterday.

The royal parents have stopped since kicking off their 5 day tour of Poland and Germany.

Kate and Wills wrapped their time in Poland and have gone full steam ahead on Day Three of the royal trip.

Dazzling the Germans, The Duchess of Cambridge donned an Alexander McQueen maxi dress, as she and William headed to the British ambassador’s residence for a garden party held in the Queen’s honour.

The couple, both 35, looked radiant at the bash, held in honour of William’s grandmother.

Kate wore a vibrant red Alexander McQueen maxi dress.

She teamed the whimsical design with a pair of Prada scalloped sandals.

At the garden party, Kate and William mingled with British expats living in Germany.

She was all smiles for the most part, the Duchess did show royal watchers where her son Prince George gets his bemused expression from…

During the garden party, the couple, who wed in 2011, chatted to British expats living in Germany along with members of the business and cultural communities in Berlin.

The future King addressed the crowd about the UK’s exit from the EU.

“The United Kingdom and Germany proudly share the same values,” he said.

“Today, we share a fundamental interest in the peace and prosperity of the continent of Europe to which we both belong. This relationship between the United Kingdom and Germany really matters. It will continue despite Britain’s recent decision to leave the EU.”

Concluding, “I am confident we shall remain the firmest of friends.”

The couple were in good spirits, having just landed in the European nation.

Earlier that day, onlookers were delighted to see glimpses of the family at Berlin Tegel airport.

Look who’s here!

Young George seems rather tired.

The poppet is ready for bed.

George will be 4 on July 22.

Guys! I’ve had enough…

Prince George seemed to be exceptionally unimpressed by the meet and greet.

Despite his yawns, the three-year-old still shook everyones’ hand, as he held firmly onto his dad.

The almost-birthday boy, who couldn’t stop rubbing his sleepy eyes, looked adorable in a pair of shorts, a button up shirt and his trusty black socks and shoes combo.

Meanwhile, little sister Charlotte was actual perfection as she showed off her princess poise.

Daddy’s little princess!

Charlotte was delighted with her bouquet.

Taking a quick smell.

Look at her walking down the stairs.

George shows off his solid hand shake.

The siblings have been with their nanny while mum and dad work.

The two-year-old looked like an angel in a blue floral dress with a matching bow and shoes.

The little Princess was a delight as she meet with dignitaries, and she even accepted a very sweet bunch of flowers.

The royal kids have been looked after by nanny Maria Borrallo, while the Duke and Duchess complete their official duties.

Upon arriving in Germany, Kate donned one of her favourite outfits, a bright blue Catherine Walker & Co. coat dress along with a pair of nude heels.

William was dressed handsomely in a well-fitted suit.

Seeing blue!

The siblings will no doubt look back at this trip fondly.

The family only have a couple days left on the tour.

And then it’s back to London.

The family will no doubt have fun celebrations for Georgie’s big day.

The first day of the German leg of their tour was jam-packed.

They began with a poignant visit to the city’s Holocaust museum and memorial, meeting with survivors of the Holocaust, before walking through the memorial.

Kate and Wills then dropped by Strassenkinder, a charity which supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

They then met with representatives from the Robert Enke Foundation, which raises awareness and understanding of mental illness.

The couple then had a private reception with German chancellor Angela Merkel.

“No, no. Sorry!” she replied.
