King Charles and Queen bid farewell to Donald Trump and Melania on final day of highly successful State Visit

King Charles and Queen Camilla have bid farewell to President Trump and First Lady in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House.

The State Visit has been the King’s inaugural trip to the United States since ascending to the throne, and has been widely credited with strengthening diplomatic ties between Britain and the Trump administration following a period of strained relations.


The royal couple are set to conclude their successful four-day American state visit with a journey to Virginia, where they will participate in celebrations marking 250 years of US independence.

The royal couple will attend a community block party featuring food and entertainment as America commemorates the anniversary of its founding.

The King's itinerary for the day includes a visit to one of America's national parks, where he will engage with members of a local indigenous community and meet individuals working on conservation projects and environmental protection efforts.

Queen Camilla will undertake a separate engagement at a farm, where the focus will be on showcasing the American horse racing industry and its longstanding connections with British equestrian traditions.

The split programme reflects both royals' individual interests, with Charles's well-documented passion for environmental causes and Camilla's known love of horses and racing.

These final engagements will cap off what has been described as a hugely successful diplomatic mission, with the couple having navigated a packed schedule across multiple American cities since arriving earlier this week.
