King Charles becomes first-ever British monarch to visit Auschwitz as Kate hugs Holocaust survivors

KING Charles walked through the entrance to Auschwitz-Birkenau to mark the 80th anniversary of its liberation after hearing harrowing stories from Holocaust survivors.

The King has become the first-ever British monarch to visit Auschwitz during what he's described as a "deeply personal" trip.

Charles, 76, toured the former Nazi concentration camp to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

It comes as Princess Kate joined husband Prince William to pay tribute to the six million Jews who died during one of humanity's darkest hours.

The King arrived to attend a service at the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum and memorial this afternoon.

He was joined by fellow monarchs including Spain's King Felipe and Queen Letizia, Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, Norway's Crown Prince Haakon, and Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria.
