- King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in the US on Monday afternoon to begin a four-day state visit, aiming to strengthen the “special relationship” between the two nations, after Buckingham Palace confirmed the visit would proceed despite a shooting incident at the White House correspondents’ dinner.
- The royal couple were greeted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House, which was followed by a private tea and a garden party with guests representing US-UK connections.
- Further activities in Washington D.C. will feature a state arrival ceremony with military honours, a bilateral meeting between King Charles and President Trump in the Oval Office, an address to both houses of Congress, and a state dinner.
- The visit will then move to New York, where the King and Queen will visit the 9/11 memorial, meet first responders, and Queen Camilla will present a specially made 'Roo' toy to the New York Public Library to complete its Winnie-the-Pooh collection.
- Concluding their US tour, Charles and Camilla will travel to Virginia to attend a community party marking the 250th anniversary of American independence and engage with indigenous communities to discuss climate change projects, before the King continues to Bermuda.
