King Charles and Queen Camilla have a jam-packed schedule for their second day in Washington, DC, which includes a bilateral meeting with the president, his address to Congress and a formal state dinner.
In a historic address to Congress at 3pm, the King is expected to emphasize the two countries’ long history and shared democratic values during his speech, in an effort to help strengthen the special UK-US relationship, which has been under serious strain in recent months.
Following the White House visit, the royals are expected to visit the British Ambassador’s residence in Washington, where they will attend a garden party.
On Tuesday, the royals are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting, likely in the Oval Office. They will also be greeted again and review some US troops at the White House.
Later in the day, the royals are expected to address Congress in a joint session – marking the second time a British monarch has done so. Queen Elizabeth was the first during her 1991 visit.
After the royal couple wraps up in DC, they will head to New York to honor 9/11 victims and then to Virginia to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.
The visit is the most important foreign trip of the King’s reign so far, but it now has the added element of heightened security concerns after an attempted assassination of the president on Saturday at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
