Royals Visit US Amid Shooting: Charles, Camilla Meet Trump

0:00On April 27, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are pushing ahead with their state visit to the United States, meeting President Donald Trump, despite a recent shooting at the White House correspondent's dinner. A government fired shots near a security checkpoint outside the event, which Trump attended with First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President J.D., Vance, but he was quickly caught with no injuries reported. An insider close to the royals, believes the late Queen Elizabeth II would have scrapped the trip after such an incident, seeing it as two. Risky for a high-profile state visit. Still, Charles seems determined to make this historic moment happen, marking his first official U.S. trip as King. Trump brushed off safety worries, telling reporters the White House grounds are secure, and that the royals will be well protected during their stay. He even mentioned chatting with Charles that morning, saying both sides are excited. Officials on both sides of the Atlantic confirmed the plans after quick talks, with the palace noting gratitude for the fast work to keep everything.
