King charles, queen camilla begin historic us visit with trumps

King Charles and Queen Camilla touched down in Maryland yesterday, kicking off their four-day official state visit to the US hosted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Private tea signals start of diplomatic engagement

The royal couple's interactions with the Trumps set the tone for a high-profile visit, marked by a private tea at Joint Base Andrews. Melania Trump opted for a pale yellow Adam Lippes skirt suit, a nod to her earlier encounter with Queen Elizabeth II in the UK.

Queen Camilla's white mid-length dress, featuring cobalt blue embroidery, provided a striking contrast to the First Lady's ensemble. The subtle color choice echoed Melania Trump's canary yellow off-the-shoulder gown worn during her UK visit last September.

Following the tea, the royal duo will travel to New York to pay respects at the 9/11 Memorial, meet with Mayor Zohran Mamdani, before concluding their trip in Virginia with a 'America at 250 block party' celebrating the country's upcoming anniversary.
