BERLIN (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Charles, in Berlin on the first day of a trip to Germany, drew laughter and applause on Tuesday when he expressed delight at having become a grandfather to another baby.

"It is a great joy for me to be here, especially as the grandfather of a new grandson," he said in German at a reception held in his honor. Charles' daughter-in-law Meghan, wife of Prince Harry, gave birth to a boy on Monday.
