- King Charles and Queen Camilla have arrived in the United States for their historic state visit.
- They are set to be greeted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House after touching down at Joint Base Andrews military base in Maryland, a short distance from Washington.
- The historic visit, the King’s first to the US as monarch and the first state visit of any British monarch since 2007, will mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.
- It comes just days after President Donald Trump was targeted in an assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night.
- Buckingham Palace announced on Sunday that Charles’s visit to Washington would still go ahead largely as planned, but some modest operational adjustments to one or two royal engagements are expected.
