King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to meet with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, in late April, as part of an official visit confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
The announcement of the trip to the US seems to have been delayed amid increased political tensions linked to the war in Iran.
Although the detailed schedule of the visit has not yet been released, it is considered certain that it will include Washington, D.C. This will be the first official state visit of the United Kingdom to the United States since 2007, when Queen Elizabeth II carried out a similar mission.
As part of the visit, an official dinner at the White House is planned, while King Charles is expected to deliver a speech before Congress.
The timing of the visit is also connected to the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States, which constitutes a key focus of the trip. As Buckingham Palace notes, the visit will highlight both the historic ties and the modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.
