King Charles & Queen Camilla's US Visit

On March 31st, Buckingham Palace just dropped the news that King Charles and Queen Camilla

are heading to the United States in April for the two, 150th anniversary of American independence.

It's their first state visit here as King and Queen, invited by President Donald Trump and

Melania Trump to celebrate those deep historic ties and today's partnership between our nations.

This got folks reminiscing about the last big UK state visit 19 years back in May 2007.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip came over for the 400th anniversary of Jamestown,

the first permanent English spot in America. At 81 and 85, they still packed in a full schedule

across Virginia sites. They rolled into Kentucky for the Derby at Churchill Downs where

Queen Elizabeth, a huge horse racing fan, watched Street Sense charge from 19th to snag the win.

Then it was Washington, D.C. with a big White House welcome from President George W. Bush

and Laura Bush, capped by a fancy state dinner. The Queen spoke on keeping the Atlantic as a bridge,

not a divide, stressing unity through changes in leaders. Next day, they hit a NASA center,

a kids hospital, and the World War II memorial with the elder bushes. Sadly, that turned out to be

their final U.S. state trip before they passed. Details on Charles and Camilla's plans of still coming,

but after the states, he'll head to Bermuda for his first visit there as King.

Royal connections across the pond keep evolving, staying strong.
