King Charles III, Queen Camilla conclude US state visit

As America celebrates its 250th birthday this year, Charles and Camilla celebrated with locals in Front Royal, Virginia, a small town nearly 70 miles outside of Washington, D.C.

The king and queen got a taste of America as they watched marching bands, cheerleaders and classic cars take part in a parade down the town’s main street. At one point, the royals stopped to greet members of the Front Royal Little League baseball team.

Locals decked out in red, white and blue also lined the town's streets to get a glimpse of Charles and Camilla.

The royals were joined at the parade by Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Front Royal Mayor Lori Athey Cockrell.

Charles and Camilla are spending some of their last remaining hours in the United States paying tribute to fallen soldiers and honoring the United States military alliance with the U.K. at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

While visiting the landmark, the king placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, honoring unidentified soldiers whose lives were lost in combat. The queen placed a posy next to the wreath.

The royal couple were greeted with a 21-gun salute.

Thirty-two British Commonwealth soldiers are among the 400,000 veterans buried at Arlington National Cemetery, according to a press release from the British Embassy.

The king and queen went on to visit the Canadian Cross of Sacrifice, "a monument to the more than 40,000 US citizens and residents who volunteered for the Canadian Expeditionary Force and lost their lives in the First World War," according to the release.

Charles and Camilla started the final day of their U.S. state visit Thursday with a stop at the White House to say goodbye to President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump.

The two couples posed together and engaged in conversation outside the White House after spending much of the past three days together.

The Trumps hosted Charles and Camilla for a state dinner Tuesday night and greeted them earlier in the day with a ceremonial welcome at the White House.

On Monday, the two couples also spent time together at the White House, enjoying afternoon tea and inspecting the White House beehive.

After Charles and Camilla spent the day in New York City, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks paid tribute to the king and queen.

The Empire State Building lit up Wednesday night with the colors of red, white, blue and gold.

The colors were chosen, “in honor of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s royal visit to New York,” according to a post on X.
