King Charles and Queen Camilla arrive at the White House ahead of Trump meeting and speech to Congress

  • On Monday, April 27, 2026, King Charles III and Queen Camilla commenced their four-day state visit to the United States, meeting President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House for tea and a garden reception.
  • Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, the visit aims to shore up the 'special relationship' between the U.S. and the United Kingdom amid tensions over Trump's war in Iran.
  • Heightened security remains in place following Saturday's shooting at a Washington media dinner, though the monarch proceeded with his itinerary, which includes a rare address to the U.S. Congress.
  • Charles will emphasize unity and shared democratic values during Tuesday's congressional address, aiming to demonstrate that the alliance remains 'one of the greatest alliances in human history,' according to palace sources.
  • Wednesday's itinerary includes traveling to New York City to commemorate the September 11, 2001, attacks, followed by a Thursday visit to Virginia focusing on the King's long-standing environmental and conservation advocacy.
