The gift, made by Merrythought, completes the library’s set of original Winnie-the-Pooh toys, missing Roo since the 1930s. Camilla promoted her charity, the Queen’s Reading Room, during the visit.
The visit followed King Charles and Queen Camilla’s attendance at the 9/11 memorial, meetings with first responders, and community engagement at Harlem Grown’s urban farm as part of their four-day US state visit.
King Charles also addressed Congress, emphasizing NATO and Ukraine, while Buckingham Palace responded to political remarks by President Trump, reaffirming the royals’ constitutional neutrality on political matters.
