King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled to undertake a state visit to the United States toward the end of April. The trip will mark King Charles's first visit to the nation as monarch and represents the first state visit by a British sovereign to the U.S. in nearly two decades.

The royal couple's engagements are expected to coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence. This timing provides a significant opportunity to commemorate the enduring historical ties between the two countries and to reinforce their diplomatic relationship. State visits are typically high-profile events designed to strengthen alliances and cultural understanding between nations.

During their stay, the King and Queen are slated to attend a state dinner at the White House. Additionally, King Charles has received an invitation to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress, a notable honor often extended to close allies and prominent global figures.

Former President Donald Trump had previously indicated plans for a state dinner to host the King and Queen. The U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Warren Stephens, confirmed the invitation for King Charles to speak before both houses of Congress during the visit. This trip follows Queen Elizabeth II's last state visit to the U.S. in 2007, making it a rare occasion for a reigning British monarch.

While a comprehensive, day-by-day program for the visit has not yet been publicly released, officials have confirmed specific details regarding the agenda. It has been confirmed that the King and Queen will not hold meetings with survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during their time in the United States.

Following the conclusion of the U.S. visit, King Charles is then expected to travel onward to Bermuda. Queen Camilla is not scheduled to accompany him for this separate visit to the British Overseas Territory.
