King Charles III will make his first official U.S. state visit in late April, including a three-day itinerary with a White House state dinner and an address to a joint meeting of Congress during the week of April 27.
Scheduled for the weeks before America’s 250th anniversary, the trip marks the first time a British monarch has addressed Congress since Queen Elizabeth II did so in 1991.

Geopolitical tensions surround the trip as President Donald Trump has pressed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for support in the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
Despite public criticism from Trump, Starmer has distanced the United Kingdom from the conflict.
“This is not our war,” Starmer said.
The king’s three-day trip also includes a scheduled stop in New York City, with planning currently underway, according to people familiar with the arrangements.
