Next month, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to travel to the United States to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, as confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
Officials have stated that the visit aims to celebrate the longstanding historical connections and the contemporary partnership between the two countries. Detailed information regarding their itinerary will be disclosed as the date approaches.
This trip will mark King Charles III’s inaugural state visit to the United States since ascending to the throne.
According to Buckingham Palace, King Charles III and Queen Camilla have accepted an invitation extended by President Donald Trump.
In a past meeting, President Donald Trump was seen walking alongside Britain’s then Prince Charles at a welcoming ceremony held at Buckingham Palace in central London on June 3, 2019.

Queen Elizabeth II previously carried out four state visits to the country in 1957, 1976, 1991 and 2007, according to Buckingham Palace.
Charles, as Prince of Wales, visited the United States 19 times, including a 2005 tour with Camilla.
Following the U.S. leg, the king will travel to Bermuda for his first visit to a British Overseas Territory as monarch.

It will mark the first visit by a reigning king to Bermuda, where Charles last visited in 1970, while Queen Elizabeth II most recently traveled to the island in 2009.
President Trump has made two state visits to the United Kingdom — first in June 2019, when he was received by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, and again in September 2025, an unprecedented second state visit where he was hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle.
