The trip will start in Washington D.C. on Monday.
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 at a heightened time, following a shooting incident outside the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner and amid new 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.
During the visit, Charles will deliver a rare joint address to Congress and there will be a state dinner at the White House.
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.
