King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Washington for a historic state visit marking 250 years of American independence and reaffirming US-UK ties. Welcomed at Joint Base Andrews, the royals are scheduled to meet Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House for tea. The visit includes ceremonial engagements and a garden party at the British ambassador’s residence, continuing a tradition dating back to 1939. During their stay, the royals also toured White House grounds, including a beehive installation. The visit underscores enduring diplomatic relations and follows Trump’s recent state visit to Britain last year.
