King Charles, Queen Camilla and Donald Trump greet the US cabinet

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the White House on April 28, 2026, for a high-stakes four-day State Visit marking the U.S. Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary). The event featured a grand State Arrival Ceremony on the South Lawn with full military honors, followed by a meet-and-greet with the U.S. Cabinet, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Beyond the pageantry and President Trump's lighthearted quips about the King's "enviable accent," the visit serves as a critical diplomatic bridge to reaffirm the Special Relationship and coordinate on global security challenges. #KingCharles #Trump #WhiteHouse #USCabinet #StateVisit #UKUS #SpecialRelationship #RoyalFamily #MarcoRubio #JDVance
