King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled to travel to Washington DC at the end of April for a three-day state visit coinciding with America's 250th anniversary celebrations.

The planned royal visit has become subject to political debate in the UK, with Liberal Democrat leader calling for the trip to be cancelled following comments made by Donald Trump regarding Britain's involvement in Iran strikes.

Downing Street has declined to confirm whether the state visit will proceed as planned, indicating uncertainty around the diplomatic engagement amid the ongoing political tensions.

The visit was originally designed to mark the significant milestone of America's semiquincentennial celebrations, representing an important diplomatic occasion between the two nations.

State visits typically require extensive planning and coordination between governments, making any potential cancellation a significant diplomatic decision that would need careful consideration of bilateral relations.
