Queen Camilla’s blunt two-word verdict on US state visit in new TV interview <\/a><\/p>\nWearing their white tunics, navy trousers with red stripes and navy and red hats, they stood in a guard of honour.<\/p>\n
It was only a small affair with no fanfare, as the King will receive a ceremonial welcome, featuring a guard of honour mounted by the RBR and a 21-gun salute, at King\u2019s Square tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
At the end of the red carpet, His Majesty pointed at the travelling UK media and said \u201cyou made it!” before climbing into his waiting car.<\/p>\n
The BMW was part of a more modest convoy than the one he received in the US. It was composed of 10 cars, eight police motorbikes and just one police car.<\/p>\n
Charles travelled to Bermuda alone, with the Queen having headed back to the UK following her final engagement in Virginia, US, on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Highlights of the King\u2019s royal visit include an engagement with young people and conservation leaders, a celebration of Bermuda\u2019s heritage and arts and the opening of the new Great Bay Coast Guard Station.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Thursday, President Trump hailed Charles as \u201cthe greatest king in my book\u201d as he bade farewell to his royal guests at the White House.<\/p>\n
The King and Queen concluded their \u201cwonderful whistle-stop\u201d US state visit by saying goodbye to the President and First Lady and joining a traditional block party in Virginia.<\/p>\n
In Washington, the two couples said warm goodbyes outside the South Portico of the White House, with Mr Trump telling the media as they posed for a final photo, \u201cHe\u2019s a great king, the greatest king in my book\u201d.<\/p>\n
In a sign of his renewed admiration for the monarch, Mr Trump said he would be placing the bell gifted to him by the King during the trip in the Oval Office, next to the bust of Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see it,\u201d he told the broadcaster, having been presented with the original bell from the conning tower of HMS Trump, a Royal Navy submarine that fought in the Battle of the Pacific in World War Two, at the state dinner on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
And the Queen has described the visit as \u201cgood fun\u201d despite its fast pace. Chatting with TODAY co-host Jenna Bush Hager during her visit to the New York Public Library on Wednesday, Camilla said: “It’s been a whistle stop. It’s been really good fun. But we have moved quite fast.”<\/p>\n
“You’ve been to a lot of places, to quite a few,” Jenna commented, in acknowledgement of the 18 engagements the couple have undertaken between them in Washington DC, New York and Virginia across the four days.<\/p>\n
The King and Queen headed for neighbouring state Virginia where thousands of people turned out to catch a glimpse of the royal couple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Charles has arrived in Bermuda (Image: Getty) The King touched down in Bermuda this evening, having concluded…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[11675,2708,1049,11677,5,6,11676,11674],"class_list":{"0":"post-26170","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"tag-bermuda-visit","9":"tag-king-charles","10":"tag-king-charles-iii","11":"tag-president-trump-remarks","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-us-state-visit","15":"tag-washington-us-state"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116496916984834256","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
