King Charles’ US State Visit to Proceed Despite Washington Shooting

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the United States will go ahead as planned this Monday. The decision follows intensive security reviews with US officials after a shooting near the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner disrupted President Trump’s attendance. The royal couple is due to arrive on April 28 for a four-day tour. Officials say there may be minor operational changes to some engagements, but the main itinerary remains unchanged. Highlights include a private meeting with President Trump and an address to Congress marking 250 years of US independence. US Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and President Trump have both expressed confidence in the security measures protecting the visit. British and American security services continue to work closely to ensure the safety of Their Majesties throughout the tour.
