King Charles and Queen Camilla arrive at the White House ahead of Trump meeting and speech to Congress

The visit aims to ease U.S.-U.K. tensions as Charles prepares a 20-minute address to Congress, only the second by a British monarch.

  • On Monday, King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Washington for a four-day state visit, meeting President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for tea at the White House.

  • King Charles will address Congress on Tuesday, becoming only the second British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1991; Queen Camilla wore a Cartier brooch with American and British flags.
