At the G7 summit in Cornwall, Great Britain, the world’s mightiest will discuss big questions such as the economy, pandemics and climate protection.
But there is also time to rest a little on the edge of the summit – not only, but especially for the spouses and wives of heads of state and government.
On Saturday morning, the husband of Chancellor Angela Merkel (66, CDU) could be seen jogging on the beach in Corbys Bay.
He allowed himself that after mandatory appearance on the diplomatic floor as Germany’s “first husband”, for example, at photo appointments with other heads of state and government and their allies with elbow greetings.
It will be the last G7 summit for him, as well as for Chancellor Angela Merkel, who will no longer run for federal elections in September.
