other · 2026-04-28

King Charles and Queen Camilla have commenced their official state visit to the United States, with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump as hosts. Their four-day journey began at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. The initial event featured a private tea at the White House attended by the royal couple and the Trumps. Melania Trump donned a pale yellow Adam Lippes skirt suit paired with matching snakeskin heels, reminiscent of a canary yellow gown she wore during her visit to the U.K. last September. Queen Camilla opted for a white mid-length dress adorned with cobalt blue embroidery. The visit will include a speech to Congress, marking the first by a British monarch since Queen Elizabeth II in 1991, and will conclude with a block party in Virginia celebrating America's upcoming 250th anniversary.
