After many months of speculation, it’s been confirmed that King Charles will travel to the USA for an official State Visit, despite the critical words Donald Trump has uttered about the UK’s contribution to his conflict in Iran.
Buckingham Palace says the visit by both King Charles and Queen Camilla will take place at the end of April and will mark the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
It will involve a formal State Dinner at the White House and a historic address by the British monarch to both houses of Congress in Washington DC.
The last time that happened was in 1991 when Queen Elizabeth made a speech to Congress during her official state visit.
