King Charles III and Queen Camilla have officially arrived at Joint Base Andrews, wrapping up their ceremonial welcome as they kick off a historic U.S. state visit.
The King and Queen were greeted on the tarmac by U.S. Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley and British Ambassador Sir Christian Turner. Children from British military families based in the U.S. presented flowers as part of the welcome.
They then walked through a line of U.S. service members as a military band played the British and American national anthems before departing.
The visit marks the start of a four-day trip celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the enduring U.S.-U.K. alliance.
