US EditionKing Charles' U.S. visit to start Monday amid strained U.S.-U.K. relations
The visit includes a congressional address, White House ceremonies and events meant to ease strained U.S.-U.K. ties, officials said.
- On Monday, King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Washington for a four-day state visit marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, proceeding as planned despite Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
- British officials intend the visit to reinforce the 'special relationship' amid diplomatic strain, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces criticism from President Donald Trump over Britain's refusal to support military action against Iran.
- Following a rapid security review at the Washington Hilton shooting site, the four-day program proceeds with minor operational adjustments, while the King prepares for Tuesday's joint address to Congress—only the second by a British monarch since 1991.
- Despite dismissing British military capabilities and criticizing Starmer, Trump stated the visit could "absolutely" help repair ties, positioning the monarchy's soft power as a diplomatic tool to bridge current divides.
- Beyond Washington, the royal couple will commemorate 9/11 victims in New York and attend a Virginia conservation event, highlighting the King's environmental activism during his first state visit as monarch.

Royalty still has a special quality
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are undertaking the first state visit to the United States by a British monarch in nearly 20 years, in a time of political tension between the two countries, and the visit is seen as an important tool of diplomacy to improve relations.
The visit is intended to keep ties between the two countries warm and comes at a time when the relationship between President Trump and British Prime Minister Starmer has cooled.
At the latest since Prime Minister Keir Starmer refused to follow in the Iran war, the relationship has broken. The Epstein case also complicates the four-day US tour of the British royal couple.
