Monarch set for high-profile U.S. visit in strategic royal move
King Charles is preparing to exercise his diplomatic influence with a high-stakes tour of the United States, as experts suggest he aims to solidify ties with Donald Trump.
The monarch and Queen Camilla are reportedly planning their most significant overseas visit yet, including stops in Canada and the U.S. Sources indicate the trip is designed to bolster UK-U.S. relations, particularly as Trump’s administration reshapes global alliances.
The royal couple is expected to begin their visit in Canada before heading to Washington, where an official invitation is reportedly in the works. The trip, anticipated for next year, may align with the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond underscored the strategic importance of the visit, noting, "While Canada remains vital to the monarchy, a U.S. tour carries substantial diplomatic weight for the UK. It offers King Charles a unique opportunity to exercise his soft power."
Bond also pointed to Trump’s well-documented admiration for royalty, suggesting the King’s presence could be instrumental in fostering smoother diplomatic relations.
