President Trump and first lady Melania Trump welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House in a pivotal moment for U.S. and U.K. relations. The state visit is the first for the royal couple and is a celebration of 250 years of American independence, as well as a delicate exercise in foreign policy.
The official arrival of the king and queen began with a traditional military arrival ceremony by the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets, a "tradition that dates back to the 18th century," the first lady’s office said.
