As King Charles III. was still the seemingly eternal Prince Charles, Markus Söder received him in the Munich Hofbräuhaus. In the former Royal Hofbräuhaus, that’s what you have to say in this case.

Söder was already prime minister there, a good year already, which saved him the question he had to listen to for years: whether he was something like Prince Charles of the CSU, the eternal crown prince? Söder had to wait a long time before he got to where he always wanted to be, at the top of the Free State. “Bavaria is not a monarchy,” is how Söder once answered the question.
