Although the visit wasn’t confirmed until today, the King’s trip to Washington this spring has been widely speculated in British media for weeks. Charles first state visit to the US in late April comes after Trump has repeatedly criticised the UK government over its response to the US and Israel’s war with Iran. After the King’s trip to the US, Charles will travel on to Bermuda for his first visit as a monarch to a British Overseas Territory, the palace also said.
