Overview
- The royal couple wrapped up the trip with a short Thursday goodbye at the White House, where President Trump praised Charles and accepted a Royal Navy bell from the WWII-era submarine HMS Trump.
- In New York on Wednesday, they left flowers and a handwritten note at the 9/11 Memorial pledging “enduring solidarity” with the American people, meeting victims’ families alongside Michael Bloomberg.
- Charles’ address to Congress on Tuesday described UK–US ties as “unbreakable and irreplaceable,” followed by a state dinner where Trump lauded the speech and referenced alignment on Iran.
- The New York events took place under reinforced security after an apparent assassination attempt against Trump at a Washington press gala earlier in April.
- Online attention trailed the visit as video showed Melania Trump letting go of the president’s hand during a photo with the royals, with a separate image later shared by supporters to counter speculation about the marriage.
