King Charles jets to US for trip overshadowed by shooting

London

Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla arrive in the United States later on Monday for a four-day trip, a tour ​which has taken on even greater prominence after the White House Correspondents’ dinner shooting and amid acrimony between the close allies. The state ‌visit, by far the most high-profile and consequential of Charles’s reign, marks the 250th anniversary of the U.S. declaration of independence from British rule, and is the first to the country by a British monarch for two decades. It begins with a private meeting with self-proclaimed royal fan President Donald Trump, and includes an address to Congress and a lavish dinner at ​the White House.
