King Charles III and Queen Camilla continued their state visit in Washington DC on Tuesday, by meeting members of President Trump’s cabinet, before the King gave a speech to both houses of US Congress to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
They ended the day with a state dinner at the White House, where Trump praised the United Kingdom for the ‘richest inheritance one nation could give to another’, while Charles gifted the president a bell from his WW2 submarine namesake, ‘HMS Trump’.
It is the first such visit by the reigning monarch to the US since Queen Elizabeth II met President George W Bush in 2007.
The King and Queen will journey to New York City tomorrow, to participate in a memorial service for victims of the 11 September 2001 attacks.
