King Charles III has set his first state visit to the United States as Britain's monarch.
Charles and Queen Camilla will visit the United States in late April at the invitation of President Donald Trump, Buckingham Palace confirmed Tuesday, March 31.
This will be the first U.S. state visit for Charles, 77, since he became king in 2022. In a Truth Social post, Trump said the visit will take place from April 27 to April 30 and include a banquet dinner at the White House on April 28.
Charles "will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence," the palace said. The king will subsequently travel to Bermuda.
"Their Majesties the King and Queen have accepted President Trump's generous invitation to make an historic State Visit in this landmark 250th year," Christian Turner, British Ambassador to the United States, said. "It will be an honour to host them and celebrate our close ties with the American people through one of the world's oldest alliances."
