King Charles and Queen Camilla have been met US President Donald Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump at the White House – at the start of their four day visit to the United States. They were greeted as they arrived before taking tea together.
It marks the first British state visit to the US since Queen Elizabeth’s trip in 2007. The King’s arrival comes during a period of strained relations between the UK and US over the Iran war. It’s being regarded as the biggest diplomatic challenge of King Charles’s reign.
Buckingham Palace says the programme will go ahead largely as planned, after a gunman attempted to gain access to a dinner event attended by the US President on Saturday.
