King Charles visit live updates: Royals to kick off US trip in DC

Royal sources told ABC News that following the shooting incident outside the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner Saturday night in Washington, D.C., some modest operational adjustments were made to the royals’ engagements during their U.S. visit. The overall plan, however, remains the same.

Buckingham Palace confirmed Sunday that the royals’ visit would "proceed as planned."

"Following discussions on both sides of the Atlantic through the day, and acting on advice of Government, we can confirm the State Visit by Their Majesties will proceed as planned," the palace said in a statement. "The King and Queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this remains the case and are looking forward to the Visit getting underway tomorrow."

ABC News has confirmed that Charles will not see his California-based son, Prince Harry, while he is in the U.S.

The king will not see either of his grandchildren, Lilibet, 4, and Archie, who turns 7 next week.

Charles has not seen Archie and Lilibet -- two of his five grandchildren -- since 2022, when they traveled with Harry and his wife, Duchess Meghan, to the U.K. for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

The last time Charles and Harry met was a brief meeting in September 2025 at Clarence House in London. Harry has subsequently been back in the U.K. but has not seen his father.

Harry has lived in Montecito, California, since 2020, when he and Meghan stepped away from their senior royal roles.

Charles and Camilla are scheduled to touch down in the U.S. Monday afternoon and head to the White House for tea with President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump.

There will also be a garden party held in their honor.

The royals’ visit is not only their first since Charles’ coronation in 2023, but also the first U.S. state visit for a British royal in nearly 20 years.

Charles’ mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, made the last state visit to the U.S. in May 2007 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia.
