<\/p>\nKing Charles III has concluded the United States leg of his state visit and is now preparing to continue his overseas tour with a visit to Bermuda, following a four-day programme of engagements in Washington, New York and Virginia.<\/p>\n
The King departed the US after a series of high-profile ceremonial and diplomatic events designed to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence and reinforce the UK-US relationship. <\/p>\n
His final engagements included a formal farewell at the White House, where he and Queen Camilla were hosted by President Donald Trump, followed by a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where the King laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in tribute to fallen service personnel.<\/p>\n
The visit to Washington featured a full programme of state ceremonial, including a 21-gun salute, a military welcome, and meetings with senior US officials. <\/p>\n
In New York, Their Majesties attended cultural and commemorative events.<\/p>\n
This included visits linked to the 9\/11 memorial and community organisations, while in Virginia, they took part in public-facing engagements reflecting Anglo-American heritage and shared history.<\/p>\n
Following the conclusion of the US visit, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the royal tour will continue with an official visit to Bermuda, marking the King\u2019s first trip to a British Overseas Territory since his accession. <\/p>\n
