King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to arrive the US for a state visit in which the King will become the second British monarch to deliver an address to Congress.<\/p>\n

The trip comes after a shooting on Saturday at a gala dinner attended by US President Donald Trump and other members of his administration.<\/p>\n

Further security talks surrounding the visit have taken place but Buckingham Palace outlined the itinerary will remain largely unchanged. Trump has since said the King will be kept “very safe”.<\/p>\n

The state visit also comes during a period of strained US-UK relations over the Iran war, with Trump telling the BBC last week the visit could “absolutely” help repair the relationship.<\/p>\n

The royal couple will be in the States from today until 30 April, attending a White House ceremony, garden party and private tea with the president and his wife Melania, among other engagements, during their two days in DC.<\/p>\n

The King will also address Congress, following in his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s footsteps, before he and Camilla head to New York where their diary includes an event commemorating 9\/11 and a visit to a community project in Harlem.<\/p>\n

There will also be a visit to Virginia for an event marking the 250th anniversary of American independence. After the US engagements the King will pay a visit to Bermuda, before returning to the UK. <\/p>\n
