King Charles and Queen Camilla in Washington D.C.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla are on their first State Visit to the United States of America this week, to mark the 250th Anniversary of American Independence, which is the latest in almost 170 years of British Royal Visits to the United States. The American President made a State Visit to the United Kingdom last year.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla flew from RAF Brize Norton on the GBNI “Baby Voyager” and landed at Joint Base Andrews (JBA) in Camp Springs, Maryland near Washington D.C., where they were received by dignitaries including the British Ambassador, Sir Christian Turner.


King Charles III and Queen Camilla were received by President Trump and the First Lady for a private tea at the White House, ahead of tomorrow’s Official Welcome.

The King and Queen also joined the President and First Lady on the South Lawn of the White House to inspect the new beehives.

Later, King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a Garden Party held at the British Ambassador’s Residence in Washington D.C., which brought together a wide variety of guests representing the connections between the two countries.

Queen Camilla is wearing a Union Flag/Stars and Stripes Brooch presented to the late Queen by the Mayor of New York in 1957.

Tomorrow, the King and Queen will receive an Official Welcome ahead of the King’s address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress before a State Dinner at the White House.
