WASHINGTON, D.C. April 10, 2026 – The White House has officially confirmed that President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will welcome King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom for a historic royal visit to the White House from April 27 to 30, 2026.
The announcement was made Friday evening via the official White House account on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by a formal promotional image depicting the two couples standing together in elegant evening attire. The graphic highlights the grandeur of the occasion, with the presidential and royal figures positioned in a lavishly decorated interior featuring chandeliers, gilded mirrors, and classic White House-style architecture.
The post reads: “Soon: President Donald J. Trump and the First Lady welcome the King and Queen of the United Kingdom for a historic royal visit to the White House.”
This upcoming four-day visit marks a significant diplomatic engagement between the United States and the United Kingdom early in President Trump’s second term. Details of the itinerary—including state dinners, bilateral meetings, and public events—have not yet been released by the White House, but such visits traditionally strengthen transatlantic ties, address shared global challenges, and celebrate the enduring “Special Relationship” between the two nations.
The announcement comes amid renewed focus on international alliances following recent U.S. diplomatic initiatives. No further official statements were available at the time of publication, but the White House is expected to provide additional scheduling information in the coming weeks.
This will be the first state visit by the British monarch to the Trump White House since the president’s return to office. King Charles III ascended the throne in 2022 following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
