President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump met with King Charles and Queen Camilla at the White House on Thursday for a formal farewell to cap the British royals’ first visit to the U.S. as reigning monarchs.
Charles and Camilla were greeted by the Trumps as they exited their car at the White House. Trump greeted reporters with a “good morning” as the couples stood for photos before heading inside for a brief time.
When the Trumps and the royals reemerged from the White House, they exchanged their final goodbyes as Charles and Trump shook hands.
After Charles and Camilla drove away from the White House, Trump told reporters, “Great people, we need more people like that in our country.”
The four-day trip is Charles’ first state visit to the U.S. since he became king. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, made four state visits to the U.S.
On Wednesday, Charles and Camilla visited the National 9/11 Memorial, where they honored victims of the 2001 attacks during a wreath-laying ceremony.
Charles earlier delivered an historic speech to Congress celebrating America’s semi quincentennial while navigating tensions in the U.S.-U.K. relationship.
