King Charles III visit live updates: King and queen honor fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery
King Charles is in Virginia on Thursday.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are making their first-ever state visit to the U.S., visiting Washington, D.C., New York City and Virginia.
The royals' visit comes amid significant strains between the U.K. and the U.S. over the war in Iran. It's also happening under the shadow of Charles' brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's connection to the ongoing Epstein scandal.
The king and queen were feted at the White House on Tuesday with a traditional military arrival ceremony and a state dinner. Charles also delivered a rare joint address to Congress, where he emphasized the historic partnership between the U.S. and U.K. and praised NATO.
