The King and Queen will make a State Visit to the United States
of America.
King Charles and Queen
Camilla have accepted an invitation from US President, Donald
Trump, who is expected to host his royal visitors at the White
House.
Full details of the Visit and the exact dates will be announced
shortly but the King and Queen will undertake the trip in
April.
It will be the first State Visit of the reign of King Charles
III to the US.

The last State Visit by a British Monarch to the US was almost
20 years ago. Queen Elizabeth II made a State Visit to Washington
in 2007 when she was hosted by President George W Bush.
The late Queen made a total of four State Visits to the US with
her other trips coming in 1957, 1991 and in 1976 when Her Late
Majesty’s time there co-incided with the 200th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence.
The State Visit by King Charles and Queen Camilla comes as the
US marks 250 years since the Declaration of Independence.
In September 2025,, US President Donald Trump made a high
profile State Visit to the UK where he stayed at Windsor Castle as
a guest of The King. It was an historic visit as it was the first
time an elected politician had paid two State Visits to the UK.
Donald Trump’s first State Visit was held in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth II and the second was made possible as he had a break of
four years between his two terms in office.

Following the State Visit to the US, Queen Camilla will return
to the UK. King Charles will head to Bermuda for a Royal
Visit.
It will be the first time a reigning King has visited Bermuda.
The last visit by a British Monarch was in 2009 when Queen
Elizabeth II was on the island.
This is the first outgoing State Visit of 2026. In March, King
Charles and Queen Camilla hosted the President of Nigeria on an
incoming State Visit.
As well as this high profile trip, designed to cement ties
between the UK and the US, there is continued speculation that the
Prince and Princess of Wales will visit the US in the summer.
