King Charles III and Queen Camilla will make a state visit to the United States in late April, marking the monarch's first official visit to America since ascending to the throne. Buckingham Palace has confirmed the trip will take place next month.

The visit comes as the United States prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026. According to palace officials, the trip "will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States."

The King and Queen Camilla are expected to travel to Washington, D.C., though specific details of their itinerary have not been fully disclosed. The visit represents a significant diplomatic engagement between the two nations.

Meanwhile, a U.S. congressman has written to King Charles urging him to meet with victims of Jeffrey Epstein during his visit to America. The letter represents an attempt to bring attention to ongoing issues related to the Epstein case.

The state visit occurs amid various political dynamics between the two allies. Such high-level diplomatic visits typically involve meetings with senior U.S. officials and ceremonial events designed to strengthen bilateral ties between the United Kingdom and the United States.
