King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived Monday (April 27) in Washington, DC, where they met with President and Mrs. Trump for a private tea and participated in a time capsule ceremony at the British Embassy to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary.
Today, the king will address both houses of Congress. This will be only the second time a British monarch has addressed a joint session, following Queen Elizabeth II’s speech during her State Visit to the US in 1991.
Honoring ‘the fallen’
The royal couple will then return to the White House for a state dinner. Before leaving Washington Wednesday, they will lay a “wreath and flowers in honor of the fallen” to recognize the military alliance between the U.S. and the U.K. before moving on to New York, where they will recognize the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by visiting with first responders and families of those who lost their lives on that tragic day.
After visiting other organizations in the city, they will travel to Virginia to attend various events, including a block party celebrating America’s 250th birthday.
All that to say, expect the royal couple to make headlines across the rest of the week.
