The first day of the British monarchs’ visit to Washington includes a private meeting at the White House; afterwards, the President and First Lady Melania will welcome them at the South Portico and then move inside for tea, followed by a visit to the White House beehives. In the evening, the Trumps will be hosted at the British ambassador’s residence in Washington along with other guests for the ‘garden party’ held in honor of King Charles’s visit.
Two and a half centuries after the American colonies declared independence from Britain under King George III, his descendant King Charles III arrived at the White House on Monday with trans-Atlantic ties under strain and security in the spotlight. Trump and first lady Melania Trump greeted Charles and Queen Camilla as they arrived, posing for photos and exchanging small talk before they went inside for tea in the Green Room. Afterward, the couples went down to the south grounds to see a new beehive in the shape of the White House that the first lady had installed last week.
