King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to visit Washington, D.C., New York, and Virginia in a four-day trip that coincides with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
“Following discussions on both sides of the Atlantic through the day, and acting on advice of government, we can confirm the state visit by their majesties will proceed as planned,” a palace spokesperson told Reuters. “The king and queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this remains the case and are looking forward to the visit getting underway tomorrow,” the spokesperson added. The trip will be King Charles and Queen Camilla’s first official state visit to the U.S., widely seen as an attempt to temper relations between the two countries.Read it at ReutersRead more at The Daily Beast.
