King Charles and Queen Camilla will make a state visit to the United States this spring, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The trip, in April, will commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence and celebrate the “historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship” between the U.K. and the U.S., the palace said in a statement. It follows an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump.
It will be Charles’s first official state visit to the U.S. as king, though as Prince of Wales he visited 19 times, including a trip with Camilla in 2005.
Charles will then head to Bermuda for his first visit to a British Overseas Territory as monarch.
Full schedules for both countries will be released at a later date.
