Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III and Queen Camilla will undertake a historic state visit to the United States from April 27–30, 2026. The decision, made on the advice of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, comes despite fierce domestic opposition and a “low trust” environment between London and Washington. Critics, including senior MPs from the Liberal Democrats and Green Party, have labeled the trip a “humiliation,” noting that it coincides with Trump’s ongoing war in Iran and his repeated public insults toward the British military.

The visit is intended to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence and will include an address to Congress and a White House banquet. However, the timing is politically explosive; only an hour before the announcement, President Trump mocked the Royal Navy’s aircraft carriers as “toys” and urged the UK to show “delayed courage” by forcibly seizing jet fuel from the Middle East. While the Foreign Office views the King’s “soft power” as a vital diplomatic tool, over 140,000 citizens have already signed petitions calling for the visit’s cancellation to avoid endorsing what they term an “illegal war.”
