King Charles III's US Visit: Royal Duties & Personal Connections

0:00On April 26, King Charles III is touching down in the U.S. on Monday for his first official state visit as monarch, hitting Washington, D.C., Virginia, and New York, before jetting off to Bermuda. This marks the first trip by a reigning British king or queen in nearly 20 years, going back to when Queen Elizabeth II visited in two, 2007 at the end bite of President George W. Bush. Charles has a long history with America, making trips throughout his adult life from playing polo in Florida to rubbing shoulders with presidents. Like Richard Nixon, and hanging with top Hollywood stars, he's no stranger to these shores, but stepping up as King adds a whole new layer to the itinerary, blending royal duties with those personal. Connections he's built over decades, expect some high profile moments across those stops, and it'll be fascinating to see how this visit plays out in today's world.
