Britain’s King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, are in the United States for his first state visit to the country.

Axar.az informs, citing CNN, the couple was welcomed Monday by their hosts, US President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, before a garden party at the British ambassador’s residence in Washington, DC.

On Tuesday, the King and Trump will participate in much pomp and circumstance, including a military review at the White House. The King will also give a joint address to Congress before attending a state dinner.

The King’s visit comes as US-UK relations are strained by the war in Iran, with Trump slamming Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to assist the US militarily. Although the King must stay above politics, his government is hoping that his US tour can help ease tensions.
