President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will host King Charles III and Queen Camilla from April 27 to 30, featuring a tour of the newly expanded White House beehive and a student-focused AI event.

The visit also includes a White House reception, address to Congress, state dinner, and stops in New York and Virginia, commemorating America’s 250th anniversary and strengthening US-UK ties through technology, education, and cultural diplomacy.
