King Charles III and Queen Camilla are visiting the United States for the first time as monarchs, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Their visit comes amid tensions in the U.S.-U.K. relationship, exacerbated by the U.S. conflict with Iran and criticisms of NATO. Despite a recent security scare at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the visit will proceed as planned. The royal couple aims to strengthen ties between the two nations, highlighting shared history and cultural connections. Their itinerary includes meetings at the White House, an address to Congress, and a state dinner. They will also visit New York to honor 9/11 victims and make a stop in Virginia. King Charles is expected to deliver a speech to Congress that may touch on historical ties and shared values like human rights.
