William, second in line to the British throne,
and Catherine took a lesson in pretzel-making from apprentices
and also made colorful candies during the visit, which is taking
place as Britain negotiates its exit from the European Union.
William, whose 19th century ancestor was German, led his team to
victory in the boat race on the Neckar River as crowds cheered
from the banks.
The royal couple also visited a cancer research laboratory,
where the premier of the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg,
Winfried Kretschmann, gave them a customized wooden cuckoo clock
decorated with the British flag and a red stag with blue
antlers.
William did not look convinced but said it was "fantastic".
On Wednesday the couple had lunch with German Chancellor Angela
Merkel at her office and visited Berlin's Holocaust Memorial.
