A Royal Visit Sets the Stage
The moment unfolded during a high-profile visit from Britain’s royal family. King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in the United States on April 27 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence.
They were welcomed in Washington, D.C., by Donald and Melania, kicking off a multi-city visit that will include stops in New York and Virginia. The atmosphere was formal, diplomatic — and, at least initially, carefully scripted.
