Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will undertake a state visit to the United States and Bermuda in late April.

Axar.az informs, citing AP, that King Charles III will undertake a state visit to the United States in late April to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence and to mark the close ties that exist between the two nations, Buckingham Palace said Tuesday.

Charles has visited the US 19 times, but it will be his first state visit to the country. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, undertook four state visits to the US.

The king also will travel to Bermuda, his first visit to the overseas territory as monarch.
