A welcoming ceremony finally took place at the White House when Donald Trump and Melania Trump welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to the South Portico.
The royal tour coincides with celebrations of America’s 250th birthday, an event rooted in the nation’s independence from Britain.
The leaders and their wives gathered for tea, sitting together over a carefully prepared meal including sandwiches, cakes and honey.
The first lady wore a buttery yellow outfit designed by Adam Lippes, while the queen opted for an elegant white chiffon dress with black bead embroidery by Anna Valentine.
Newly released footage shows the King and Queen in conversation with Trump in front of a striking painting that depicts the president in the aftermath of the July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
