King Charles and Queen Camilla have touched down in the United States for a state visit that mixes pageantry, quiet homage and a busy public schedule — from a ceremonious welcome at Joint Base Andrews to an intimate White House tea with President and First Lady Trump. Read on to discover the full story!

Touchdown and warm greetings

The royal couple arrived at Joint Base Andrews on April 27, 2026, where they were met by U.S. Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley, British Ambassador Sir Christian Turner and a welcome committee of officials. The King and Queen accepted flowers from schoolchildren as a U.S. military band played both national anthems.

Style with meaning

Queen Camilla made a pointed choice by wearing a Union Jack and Stars and Stripes brooch once owned by the late Queen Elizabeth, a gift from the New York mayor during the 1957 state visit — a small but poignant nod to shared history.
