King Charles and Queen Camilla will make a state visit to the USA at the end of April.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla will undertake a state visit to the United States at the end of April, according to an announcement made by Buckingham Palace.

This visit, which will mark 250 years since American independence, is contested in the current context of the War in the Middle East and tensions between Washington and London.

The itinerary of the visit will celebrate the historical ties and bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and the USA, but the exact details are yet to be communicated.

While Donald Trump, a fan of the royal family, has stated that he can’t wait to see the king, a YouGov poll shows that 49% of Britons oppose the visit, and several British lawmakers have criticized the event, deeming it inappropriate in the current context.
