The program of King Charles III and Queen Camilla for their state visit to America from April 27 to 30 is taking shape. The royal couple, who are visiting in honor of the 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence, will be welcomed by the American president and his wife Melania Trump in Washington DC, where several events are planned, including a speech by the king before Congress, before heading to New York and Virginia, where the 77-year-old monarch and his 78-year-old wife will interact more with civilians.
In New York, the couple will meet with first responders and families of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, just a few months before the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack that claimed over 3,000 lives, before parting ways to honor personal commitments close to their hearts, as announced by Buckingham Palace.
Neighborhood celebration
Charles III will meet with entrepreneurs and visit an urban agriculture program that helps young people affected by food insecurity, while Queen Camilla will participate in a literary event celebrating the 100 years of Winnie the Pooh, created by British author Alan Alexander Milne. They will conclude this part of their trip with a tribute to the King’s Trust, a program that assists disadvantaged youth.
The king and queen will then go to Virginia, where they will attend a neighborhood celebration for the 250th anniversary of American independence, signed in 1776 during the reign of George III, the last British king to rule over the United States until the country’s war of independence. No hard feelings for Charles III, who will also visit a national park to interact with Native American communities involved in nature conservation initiatives. As for Queen Camilla, she will visit a horse racing farm before joining her husband in Bermuda for a short stay on May 1st and 2nd.
