With presidents, cowboys and A-listers – King Charles in US over the years

King Charles III’s upcoming trip to the United States will be his first official state visit since ascending the throne. The itinerary includes stops in Washington DC, Virginia, and New York before heading to Bermuda. This marks the first time a reigning British monarch has visited the US in nearly two decades, since Queen Elizabeth II’s 2007 visit under President George W Bush.

Past visits have showcased a range of activities. From polo matches in Florida to discussions with US leaders, Charles has engaged in diverse diplomatic and social events. His interactions have spanned decades, beginning with meetings with President Richard Nixon and extending to contemporary figures.

Throughout his career, the monarch has maintained a consistent presence in American affairs. Whether through cultural exchanges or high-profile encounters, his engagements highlight a blend of tradition and modernity in his relationship with the nation.
